- 3Better Together - Joel OsteenIt’s easy to do life on our own and think we don’t need any help from others. But Joel wants to show you how you won’t reach your highest potential by yourself. God has ordained people to be in your life that will strengthen you, encourage you and push you toward your purpose.Hebrews 10:25 says, “Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together.” Together we’re better, stronger, smarter, and more powerful! Don’t waste another year doing life solo. The scripture says, when we come together in unity there is a commanded blessing. You will become everything God has created you to be when you connect with others in an atmosphere of faith.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 4Guard Your Heart - Victoria OsteenOur lives follow the direction of our thoughts. Not every thought that comes to mind is positive. Some thoughts are destructive if we dwell on them long enough. We need to recognize which thoughts are dragging us down and guard our hearts against them. One way to guard our hearts is to push out thoughts of negativity, fear, and doubt. Then we can begin to dwell on good things that lift our spirits. As we take control of our thoughts and turn them in the right direction then we’ll see our lives begin to change for the better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 5The Open Windows of Heaven - Joel OsteenWe all come to places in life where we reach our limits. You may feel like that today, or maybe there are obstacles you can’t overcome. The good news is that you’re not on your own. God is with you, and He is not limited by anything or anyone.You don't have to live life in fear or worried anymore because you don’t see how it’s going to work out. God’s ways are better than our ways. Under the open windows of heaven, God will cause you to accomplish things you couldn’t on your own. All you need to do is keep the faith. You will learn from Pastor Joel how being negative, complaining and living worried can limit God’s favor in our lives, but our praise causes the heavens to open and pour down like a flood.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 6The God Who Goes Before You - Joel OsteenAre you facing a mountain today? Whatever is trying to stop you, a mountain of debt, sickness, depression or addiction may look insurmountable, but it’s no match for our God.God told the Israelites in Isaiah 45:2 “I will go before you and level the mountains.” Joel will show you how the Most High God is going before you today and fighting your battles.Are you living worried, stressed out, trying to figure out how your situation is going to work out? The good news is that you’re not on your own. God is saying, “Trust Me. I have you covered. I know where you are and where you’re going.” One touch of His favor will turn that mountain into level ground.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 7Waiting Well - Victoria OsteenSometimes in life, we have to wait. We have to be careful to not allow the waiting to open the door to doubt and discouragement. We have to trust that God will get us to the right place at the right time.Today, I want to encourage you, no matter what you are waiting for, learn to wait well. Instead of worrying, turn your focus to the Father. Let patience have it’s perfect work. Trust that He is ordering your steps.Think about a butterfly coming out its cocoon. It takes time, it takes effort, it takes difficulty to get out of that cocoon but once it breaks out, it comes forth in such beauty. It’s ready, it’s poised to be able to fly. That’s what happens to us when we wait well. We become strong and beautiful, ready to embrace all God has for us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 8Living Joyful - Joel OsteenHave you allowed the pressures of life to weigh you down to where you’re not laughing as much as you used to? Have you stopped enjoying life? While every person deals with stress and challenges, if we’re not careful, it’s very easy to one day look up and find that we don’t smile as much, we’re not as friendly, and the joy of life has disappeared. Joel wants to show you how you can live without heaviness no matter your circumstances.Jesus said in John 16:33, “In life you will have difficulties, but be of good cheer.” Let this message show you how to get your joy back. As you make this important shift, you’ll feel stronger, younger and fresher, and you’ll have the strength to finish your course with joy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 9Don't Rely On People - Joel OsteenAre you relying on what others say or don’t say for your value? Are you frustrated today because you don’t have the support from others around you?One of the greatest lessons in life is to learn that your true value does not come from people; it comes from Almighty God. Yet many people today rely on the complements, encouragement and approval of others to feel good about themselves and stay motivated. Paul said in Philippians 4:13, “I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency.” Let Joel show you who you are in Christ and how to go to Him for your value and self-worth. As you apply these biblical principles, not only will you live a more peaceful life, but your relationships will improve, too!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 11Night Seasons - Joel OsteenWe all go through times that we don’t understand. But Matthew 5:45 tells us, “Rain falls on the just and the unjust.” This means we are all going to go through night seasons and face difficult times. Joel wants to show you how to face these night seasons with hope and the right attitude. Our night seasons always lead us to the amazing things God has in store for our future. The Psalmist said in Psalm 112:4, “When darkness overtakes the righteous, light will come bursting in.” You can have hope during your darkest hours. Don’t let the night seasons convince you that you’ve seen your best days. You wouldn’t be alive if God didn’t have something amazing in front of you. Without the night seasons, we wouldn’t become everything we were created to be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 12Unconditional Trust - Joel OsteenIt’s easy to trust God when things are going our way, but what about when things aren’t going our way? Are you frustrated or unhappy because something is not working out like you think it should? That’s conditional trust.Let Joel teach you how to have unconditional trust in what God is doing in your life. Psalm 138:8 promises us that “God will work out His plan for your life.” You don’t have to work it out. You don’t have to make it all happen in your own strength and fight all of your battles. God knows what’s best for you. Instead of living life frustrated, you can live contented and restful, trusting in God’s timing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
