Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer. On today's

program, Joyce will be teaching us how we can find freedom from fear. We've all experienced fear,

worry and anxiety, maybe because something negative has happened to us, or maybe because we just

don't want to deal with a challenge that lies ahead.

These feelings can come in us for many different reasons, but they all have the same end effect.

They steal our joy in life, and can drain our energy if we don't confront them.

But we can find freedom from fear and anxiety, no matter what the cause.

Joyce wants us to know that with our faith in Christ, we can overcome these feelings every time.

Find out how we can increase our faith

and get the victory today.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

The less we complain, the more we grow spiritually.

Come on, that was worth you coming. Because here's the thing. If we can just tell somebody else, and if they'll just feel sorry for us, then we just feel so.

Yes, I am quite pitiful.

But what we've done is we've relieved a little bit of what God is trying to use to change us on the inside.

And so, man, if I'm going through something and I keep my mouth shut.

Yeah. keep my mouth shut. I'll get some kind of a virus or something and tell Dave how terrible I feel.

He's like, yeah, I had that last week for three days.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

He said, well, you can't help me.
