You're Invited to the Unwavering Online Bible Study

Discover how to choose a joy that stands against the tides of life's real and often overwhelming pain. We are called to live. And, miraculously, to live with joy.

The Bible's call to be "joyful always" can seem crazy sometimes — and out of reach. But it doesn't have to be! God means for us to have JOY — a joy from Him that is defiant in the face of this broken world.

In this six-session video Bible study, Stasi Eldredge invites you to actively participate with God to increase the joy in your life and become a woman with unwavering joy. In this study you will learn to maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither diminishes or denies your pain or current circumstances, but dares to live with expectant hope!

Are you ready? Sign up for the study now and you can get started right away! We’re making the companion study videos available to you for FREE. That’s right, all 6 sessions - releasing a new one every week! Register now and get the schedule, free downloads, and all the great bonuses! The study dates are May 6 - June 16.

Why Defiant Joy?

Why “Defiant Joy”? Why not read a book simply on “Joy”? The answer is an easy one. In this world we find ourselves living in, having joy often feels both crazy and out of reach. That’s why the title includes the word “defiant.” Defiant means to stand against the tide. It means to go against the flow, even when the flow is comprised of a strong current of despair and difficulty.

To have joy in the midst of sorrow—or the current news feed—can seem impossible. And all on our own, it is impossible. But just as the angel Gabriel said after making his outlandish proclamation to Mary that she, a virgin, would give birth to the Savior of the world, “Nothing is impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37 NASB)

Joy is meant to be ours, a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. Our hearts are to echo the heartbeat of our joyous God. Now, this isn’t about skipping around in the garden singing, “I’m so happy in Jesus every day.” This is about being present to whatever may be coming our way and, in the midst of both the goodness and the grief, knowing joy.

Believing that sorrow and loss do not have the final word takes defiance. It requires a strength of spirit that needs to be nurtured. It means engaging our lives fully but interpreting them by the highlight of Heaven. Denying the truth of reality is not the answer; being fully present to it is.

The invitation from God to “Rejoice. Again I say rejoice” comes to us in the middle of our lowest lows as well as our highest highs. How do we do that? Let’s find out together.
