The Secret to Lasting Joy
Learn the True Secret of Happiness

Many Christian women in today’s society feel burdened and overwhelmed. They’ve lost their joy in Christ. And that joy has been replaced with feelings of frustration and emptiness. How can busy, overwhelmed women achieve enduring joy? What are the secrets of lasting, glorious, inexpressible joy?

From many years of research and study, this presentation reveals the biblical secret to joy: God gives joy to those who live pleasing to Him. It is the emotional result of true holiness and intimacy with Christ. Katie Hoffman leads women back home to Christ and the joy He alone gives.

Giving Thanks in Everything
God's will for you is to give thanks in everything

Do you want to know God's will for your life? 1 Thessalonians says God's will is for you to give thanks in everything. Strength, joy, and extreme blessing can be found in simply giving thanks. God has ordained thankfulness, not only so we acknowledge Him, but also for our own well being. God rewards those who are thankful. Learn how to make thankfulness a habit and see what blessings result!

Taking Joy Seriously
God's will for you is to give thanks in everything

Are you joyful? Are you living in fullness of joy? Perhaps you’d answer something like “I’m a pretty happy person, but fullness of joy, well that seems kind of extreme.” What is interesting is that God commands His children to “rejoice in the Lord always” (Phil. 4:4). And He says in 1 Peter 1:8, “Whom having not seen, you love. Though, having seen him not, you believe and rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory." 

What this means is: Because God takes joy seriously, we need to take joy seriously too. In this honest and compelling message on Joy, Katie Hoffman reveals exactly what the Bible says about how to be filled with lasting joy. This popular message leaves women with a clear vision about what robs them of joy and what keeps us rejoicing in the Lord always.

When a Woman Follows Christ
Life is quick—Learn How to Make Yours Count

Think of being acknowledged by God—as you stand before Him at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10)—as a woman who followed Christ completely? Can you even imagine what an honor that would be?

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul the apostle told us to follow him even as he followed Christ. (1 Cor. 11:1)  And Paul certainly did follow Christ!  He was beaten with rods, stoned, starved, and he spent a night and day in the ocean; all for the sake of the gospel. You may think, “I could never live like the bold and seemingly fearless Paul the apostle.”  But I find a certain biblical fact very encouraging.  Just like Paul, we have been blessed “with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places” (Eph.1:3).  We’re coming from the same place of depravity as Paul and we’ve been given the same Holy Spirit.  If anything, it’s not that we can’t follow Christ and Paul, it’s that we’re unaware we can!

Our starting line is the same as Paul’s.  We all start the race at the same point, but only some run the race to win!  And this is why we must run to win—because the prize is Following Christ! 

If we truly want to win, then we must be unstoppably compelled with desire to really know God, and lay aside every hindrance, considering it as garbage, in that pursuit.  I want to equip you with what you’ll need to win and encourage you to let go of those things which will keep you tied up at the starting line. I want to direct your gaze toward goal that really matters, and away from the trivial tokens that distract from the real prize.

This race is more than life, and the prize is greater than any gold medal.  As we run this race together I pray I can spur you on to run with more dedication and greater endurance than you ever have before

There may be sweat and exhaustion, but there will be a reward greater than I can describe: winning Christ! (Phil 3:8).  So I urge you to lay aside every weight and sin, and run with me in the course we call life, so we may say with Paul, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Tim. 4:7)
