WOMEN OF WORTH “Battlefield of The Mind” by Joyce Meyer Wednesday evenings beginning January 21st! 7:00 pm in KidZone Worry, doubt, confusion, depression, anger and feelings of condemnation: all of these are attacks on the mind. In this most popular bestselling series, the beloved author and minister shows us how to change our lives by changing our minds. Joyce teaches how to deal with thousands of thoughts that people think every day and how to focus the mind the way God thinks. She shares the trials, tragedies and ultimate victories from her own marriage, family and ministry that led her to wondrous, life-transforming truth--and reveals her thoughts and feelings every step of the way.
