Peace can be hard to find in our lives today. Our thoughts are assaulted on all fronts: in our finances, in our interpersonal relationships, in our search for truth, and in our own understanding of our identity and goals, causing us to fall into cycles of worry and anxiety. These struggles are nothing new. In a letter written two thousand years ago, the apostle Paul shares his insights into all of these things. Paul himself is no stranger to anxious thoughts and difficulties, and yet his message is clear - rejoice! Here is a man who is bound in prison, unable to provide for himself, unable to go where he pleases, facing a very real possibility of death, and yet his words to a young church that he loves dearly are filled with the repeated call to rejoice. How can he say this? What is his secret to joy? Discover the timeless wisdom that will transform your heart and your mind and fill you with a joy and a peace that you didn't think was possible.
