Have you ever wanted to run away from a situation in life? Well, you’re not alone! Just ask Abraham, Moses, David, or Jonah—great men of God who struggled with either running away or hiding from painful issues. What did they run from? Fear, failure, people…themselves. However, God’s lesson for them (and us) is simple: The way to make progress and achieve our dreams is to keep moving forward and address life’s issues head-on. In this series, Joyce teaches how to: Address painful situations from the past; Overcome fear and live with confidence; Lovingly confront people who are manipulative or controlling; Avoid the traps of making excuses and blaming others; Gain freedom through facing the truth about yourself. As you work with God, there’s nothing—not people, the past, or even your mistakes—that can hold you back from the great future He has planned. So, don’t run, hide, give up, or go back! Let God help you face life head-on…and move forward with new confidence and freedom.
Pauline Joyce Hutchison Meyer, more commonly known as Joyce Meyer, is a Charismatic Christian author and speaker. Her television and radio programs air in 25 languages in 200 countries, and she has written over 70 books on Christianity. Joyce and her husband Dave have been married since January 7, 1967, have four grown children, and live near St. Louis, Missouri. Her ministry is headquartered in the St. Louis suburb of Fenton, Missouri.
In 1993, her husband, Dave, suggested that they start a television ministry. Initially airing on superstation WGN-TV in Chicago and BET, her program, now called Enjoying Everyday Life, reaches a large audience.
In 2004 St. Louis Christian television station KNLC, operated by the Rev. Larry Rice of New Life Evangelistic Center, dropped Meyer's programming. Rice had been a longstanding Meyer supporter, but claimed that her "excessive lifestyle" and teachings which often go "beyond Scripture" were the impetus for canceling her program.
In 2005, Time magazine's 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America ranked Joyce Meyer as 17th.
