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

So it's interesting how a lot of times when we're offended it's not because somebody's done something to us.

It's because of the way we're taking it or because our expectation wasn't met.

And maybe they didn't even know that we had that expectation to them.

I do what I do because I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

The key to everything is found in God's words.

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

Hi everyone, welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life.

Now here's a question for you. Be honest. Are you easily offended?

In today's world, offense is everywhere.

And the question is how do we handle it so it doesn't trip us up and hurt our relationship with others and with God?

Well, we tackled this topic on a talk it out podcast recently.

Joyce, Erin, clearly, Jay and I discuss some important strategies when it comes to dealing with offense.

This is such useful stuff and I believe this program will really be helpful to you.

We are talking about something that is going to set a lot of people free.

I think it's so important. And when we get down to the nitty gritty of it,

it is something that we deal with probably every single day in one way or another.

We're talking about offense.

We're going to start with Joyce teaching us a little bit about what offense actually means.

And then we are going to dig right in and help all of us not live in it.

Now the Webster's dictionary says, offend means to displease.

It means to make angry, but I like this. It says it expresses less than to make angry.
