Joy is the indisputable evidence of God’s presence. Joy is a word much used, rarely understood. It is an essential ingredient of any ministry and gives credibility to our witness. Any ministry without joy is going to be exhausting. What is joy, how do we recognise it, why does it matter, and how do we teach it? This workshop includes helpful appropriate references, stories, examples from lived experience and links to resources you can use.
