Cup of JOY Study

Podcast. You can start a study group with one or more friends and meet for just one hour weekly over coffee for discussion and reflection. First, you can listen to a 10 to 15-minute podcast before or at the meeting. Then, you follow a one-page worksheet with commentary & discussion questions related to the Podcast and Scriptures. It's fun and will deepen your faith!

Choose. You will choose a podcast series:  

1) Ruth: Finding JOY in Tough Times, 2) A Joy-filled Advent Journey, 3) Esther for This Time, 4) Joyful & Battle Ready, 5) Nehemiah & Rebuilding Hope & Joy, or 6) Find the JOY, or 7) Wrap Yourself in Scripture: Hearing God's Voice., You can start any time. Each podcast series of 5 to 9 podcasts is based on one of the JOY books written by Karen, and have imprimaturs. 

One Hour. The weekly ONE-hour format encourages a focused meeting that does not take much time. Discussing the content covered with the questions and commentary will help the Scriptures come alive. 

Handouts Provided. The one-page worksheet of questions and commentary for EACH podcast will be emailed to the host in a front and back PDF that includes all Scripture references.

Invite.  You can start by inviting at least one person to join a Cup of JOY study group (women or gathering).  Cup of Joy is a beautiful way to involve others in the study of Scripture and foster gentle evangelization. You will grow in faith, hope, love, and JOY  together.

Help for Hosts. Ask the Holy Spirit to inspire you about where you could meet and who you should invite. Start with only one other person or an entire room full of friends. Karen can help you get started. Just send me an email.
