One of the most common sentiments I hear from women is “I don’t think I feel Joy.” Whether it is a major curveball they have been thrown in their life or just the everyday mundane talks that have sucked the life out of them, many women are walking around feeling absolutely joy-less. Talasi Guerra just released her new book Joy Like a Mountain and I wanted to know from her - someone who has lived through the experience of joylessness to joyfulness, “How can we get there?” “Is it possible to experience joy again?” I hope this episode inspires, equips and encourages you towards joy in your life. I believe it is possible friends. I believe the God we love and serve can bring beauty from ashes and joy when we can not feel it. The verse I share in this episode tha t I could not remember at the time is from Jeremiah 31:3-4. “ The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. I will build you up again, and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your timbrels and go out to dance with the joyful.” This is my prayer for you - if you are feeling joy-less that you will cling to this promise as you lean into the One who brings us joy. In 2007, Talasi experienced radical life-change when God brought her through a period of healing from her long battle with anorexia and depression. Since that time she has been passionate about bringing light and life to the world around her by sharing her story through writing and speaking. Her new book Joy Like a Mountain will challenge, encourage, and inspire you to reclaim Joy in your life.
