Lamentaciones 3:40

God designed us to use our time and talents to help other people. But you may understand what it feels like when you’re no longer serving others — you get stressed! And, you lose your joy. Join Pastor Rick as he teaches how we can recover our joy by giving back.

If God is our healer, how do we navigate hurt? How do we process anger? How do we face sadness? Oftentimes it's hard to be fully honest with God, ourselves, and others. We become fearful of what it says about us if we are supposed to be "trusting God" while still battling doubt. In this 4-day podcast-style devotional, AGT winner Dustin Tavella and his wife dive into what authentic conversations with Jesus can look like. Learning to be honest with God, yourself, and others may be the key to unlocking the growth we desire.

If you want joy in your life, you have to find a balance in your schedule. Pastor Rick shares how you can readjust your input and your output so that your giving and receiving helps you recover your joy, not lose it.

Jesus came that we might have "life to the full," and He warned that an enemy aims to rob us of it (John 10:10). Thus, from our experience, we must be intentional in this pursuit of abundant life. This assessment will help you to do just that by developing a personal P.L.A.N., an acronym we use to help you be fruitful and fulfilled in life and ministry. Enjoy the journey!
