Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ

Come for a time of Bible study and fellowship where women are invited to get together on the third Monday of each month from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Robbie Staubes’ home in Mount Pleasant.

September through May we will get together to explore resilience and joy. Resilience is modeled for us by several biblical characters, gospel and epistle writers, as well as Jesus. So, what exactly is it? And how do we find joy in a chaotic world? Is Christian joy different from how a lot of people define joy?

We will also seek to rediscover our identity. Identity is more than who we are or who we show ourselves to be. At its core, it points to our humanity. Our core identity is not found in our titles, our positions, our spouses, our partners, or our possessions. For Christians, our identity is found in Jesus Christ.
