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.

Well, today I want to talk to you about having the courage to be different.

Amen. Amen.

You know, there's probably relatively few people

that have the courage to be

completely and fully

themselves throughout their lifetime.

But I believe that as children of God,

we can learn that as long as we have our trust in Him.

Do you know anything at all about living a phony life

because you're trying to impress everybody else around you?

That's real torment, isn't it?

To not be able to be free to be who you are.
