We all need guidance and protection in our lives. Jesus refers to Himself as our "Good Shepherd" -the One who nurtures us and shields us from harm. Just like sheep, we require a great deal of care and attention: We are very stubborn, we wander off a lot, we are often timid and fearful, and we are not naturally prone to doing the right thing. But thanks to the Good Shepherd, we don't have to live that way. In this four-part series, Joyce reveals insights from Psalm 23: Why you should let God lead you How God "shepherds" and protects you from harm Why the easiest, most tempting choices are not always good for you, and How to trust God regardless of your circumstances The safety and care you need to thrive each day is available through your relationship with God. Release yourself from the burden of being in control, and instead, let God be your Shepherd. As you do, you'll experience His love more than you ever thought possible.
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.
