This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

I'll tell you if this had happened to me 25 years ago, I would have been furious that God didn't not do what I wanted but do what I knew he could do.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

Hey everyone, we are so glad you're joining us today. Today Joyce shares practical steps that each of us can take to find joy even in the midst of the challenging times in our lives.

She joins Aaron Clue, lead Jay and me on her Talk It Out podcast where we get real about how to lean into the peace that God promises all of us even in the midst of despair.

Now honestly this was a difficult discussion but a really vital one and I think that you'll agree.

Hi everyone, welcome, please come in. We are going to talk about some really important things today.

So important that Joyce wants us to all begin with a musical number for all of us.

So what are you saying? Are you ready? Let's go.

The joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord is my strength.

Yes, since Jay's the only one that can really sing and what is that would be Jay and the Hummers.

That whole time. You did good. That's the new band name.

I'm the famous Hummers. That's really cool.

I really love the song. I don't want to be the clapper.

We're talking about joy today.

Yes, exactly. The joy of the Lord is our strength.

Interesting thing about this. It's something we all need so desperately.

When we talk about it, it's what everybody wants.

We want the joy of the Lord. We want that strength that he gives us.

It's one of the fruit of the Spirit so it's promised us.

Normal days that I'm just going to start out so transparent.

This would be one of my very favorite topics to talk about.
