Freed From the Ultimate Joy Zapper: How to Release Control & Choose Cheer with Nicolet Bell

Y’all – what a FUN, rich, thought-provoking episode! Today, I have Nicolet Bell on the podcast to talk about her latest book Choosing Cheer: Experiencing the Joy of Jesus in the Everyday and Unimaginable. And I have to say…after reading it, I feel as if my joy has been refreshed! Nicolet is a gifted speaker, author, and podcaster, and the new president and CEO of Million Praying Moms. As you’ll hear in the intro, God crossed our paths while we were in college, and I’ve remembered Nicolet since then as two things: someone who had a deep prayer life that honored God AND a cheerleader, as she was on the cheer squad at our university! It is no coincidence that she is now in charge of a ministry focused on prayer & has written a book on cheer/joy! Nicolet’s passion for Jesus and joy shine through as she speaks, and I think you’ll be really motivated to pursue the joy of Jesus after listening. If you’re looking for…A fresh perspective on joyAn explanation of the difference between joy & happinessThe reason that control zaps the joy out of lifeHelp with releasing control & holding your plans more loosely Encouragement to INCREASE joy in your life  as you age rather than decrease itThen you are in the RIGHT PLACE! Oh, and Nicolet shared some VERY exciting personal news with me early in the conversation, so I hope you enjoy hearing that as well! You can get your copy of Nicolet’s book Choosing Cheer on her website, Amazon, or anywhere books are sold. It is most definitely worth the read, and I highly recommend it!
