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 My Favorite Scriptures.

The Bible has made all the difference in Joyce's life, taking her from a barely getting by unhappy mindset to having a real, joyful, abundant life in Christ.

brings us closer to him.
