Inspired by the words from the Psalmist, David, Joy created this song directly from the words of the Bible (Psalm 16:8-9). She came across the verses when she was really overwhelmed, and the words ministered so much to her. She didn't spend a lot of time writing the music but when she sent the song to Bethany just to show her what she did, Bethany fell in love with it. Joy and Bethany waited months to record this song together (they live thousands of miles from each other) and can't wait for you to hear it! From Bethany: I have a cool story with this song. A couple months ago I had a really hard drive back home...to the point where I was in tears driving down the road. On top of that, I'm not the best at directions and was lost. Jesus prompted me to sing this song (I had just recently memorized the words after Joy had sent it to me) and I found myself singing it over and over for the next forty-five minutes until I reached my destination. If I stopped singing it, I would no longer feel peace and started freaking out. This song will always be special for me and I'm SO glad I could finally record it with Joy! We hope you love this song as much as we do. Want to grow in your relationship with Christ? You're in the right place.

The Vergeer sisters sing a medley including a song Abigail wrote about having Joy in Jesus. Her song reminds us that steady joyfulness comes only from Jesus, and nothing needs to shake that joy. Our culture, even among Christians, says it's too optimistic and ingenuine to rejoice in everything. What do you think? What does the Bible say? What if you made the commitment to give thanks in everything? To give up the desire to engage in self-focused pity and choose a joyful heart and countenance instead? It is possible, dear friend, by God's help, to make the choice to rejoice. Check out The Hope Factor's upcoming blog post for Abigail and Joy's thoughts on rejoicing while still being vulnerable with each other.Want to grow in your relationship with Christ?

The challenge video for the “Identity in Christ” theme is here! It’s super do-able, only takes 10-15 minutes and as a bonus, is fun! Watch ‘til the end of the video as there’s bloopers waiting for you! There are some examples down below of some lies and countering Scriptures that you can use. These are the ones that Bethany used in the video. Lie: “I’m ugly” Scripture: 1 Peter 3:3-4 “Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.” Lie: “God doesn't care about me.” Scripture: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2 He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.” Isaiah 40:11 Lie: “I’m not good at anything” Scripture: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Want to grow in your relationship with Christ? You're in the right place.
