Life is good but life is hard!

I want to help you fight for joy!

I am passionate about the topic of biblical joy because I believe that in order to be able to persevere in our faith, for a lifetime, we MUST know how to fight for it. Why do I say FIGHT for biblical joy? Because we are in a daily battle with the enemy of our souls, but God has given us what we need to be able to fight. I want to help you learn how to fight for joy so that you can persevere in your faith FOR A LIFETIME!
