We live in a time when many in our community are experiencing societal anguish in response to events that de-value lives and lack compassion. As people of all ages bear witness to this, they wonder, What is there to be happy about?

Each Joy in Jesus lesson speaks to the different “rooms in life,” and shows how to find joy in all circumstances. Jesus’ joy is boundless, and there is great healing and freedom in this truth!
