Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series on the Book of Ephesians.

Are you ready to go deeper in your relationship with God?

The book of Ephesians is foundational for every believer to understand their identity as a follower of Christ.

Join Joyce today as she teaches from

Ephesians chapter by chapter, helping reveal to us who we are in Christ and just how much he loves us.

Now here's Joyce with today's series on Ephesians. When Jesus said, follow me, he spoke the two

you're going to be doing everything right. Well, you'd probably think I was full of myself and maybe I would be.

I don't know. But Paul said that. Follow my example. Well, you know what? I think honestly, we all should be

able to say that. We all should be able to say, if you follow my example, you're going

to be doing what God wants you to do. You know, one of the songs that we sang earlier, and I noticed

people kind of had a good response, let my deeds outweigh my words. And I think that's so important.

You know, talk is cheap. And what we say can affect people, but if we say one thing and do the opposite, it actually

has a very negative effect on people.

And that's one of the reasons why religious, religion and religious people in many instances

have really turned people off because they can act like they're too good to even speak to

anybody else that's not like them.

And just the very fact that they do that is a message that doesn't minister Christ's character
