In this conversation, Suzie shares from her own personal testimony that joy has played a pivotal role in.  In the midst of extreme heartache and fear, rather than trying to choose joy, we need to seek the Source of our Joy.  When others are walking through dark seasons, listening to the gentle prompts of God is a way for us to embolden other people to joy because He uses us as tools for His ultimate purpose.  Suzie shares that joy is more than a feeling; it is a knowing.  It is knowing what is true and knowing where real joy is found.

Angie is a wife and bio/adoptive mom to three daughters. You can find her surfing and hiking with her family in Hawaii. 

In this presentation, Angie dives into the topic of emboldened contentment.  Contentment requires both courage and conviction.  She shares her personal story to how she grew in contentment through difficult circumstances, but ultimately, the small moments throughout the day is where we need to practice contentment.  Contentment is not a natural response for us, but it can be a practice that we emulate in our daily lives.  Practically, we first can embolden contentment by identifying the thoughts that tell us we are not enough and we do not have enough.  Secondly, practicing gratitude breeds contentment.  And finally, we can turn our minds to the things that we can do and intentionally filling ourselves.  When we are content, we have the ability to live emboldened life pursuing the things of God.
