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, Healthy Living, Spirit, Soul, and Body. We may think

that God is concerned only with our spiritual health, when the truth is he cares about every

So how do we take care of our complete selves?

Today, Joyce shares how, with God's help, we can learn to make new habits that will lead us to a

healthier, happier life.

Then I'm like, oh, no, I'm thinking,

don't make a scene, just take it. And so I said, I said, no, really. I said, I just want to bless you.

I said, I just want to bless you. God's blessed me and I just want to, well, she cried and you know

the whole thing that people do. Okay. So now listen. So, I me, and I just wanted, well, she cried, and you know the whole thing
