All my life I have wanted to be happy. What a surprise! God did not ask me to deny my desire for happiness; He asked me to allow Him to fulfill it. To paraphrase John Piper, "Our problem is not that we go too hard after pleasure, our problem is that we settle for too little. God would give us a magnificent view of the Himalayas, and we have been content to go to the garage and sit on folding chairs and look at slides of Buck Hill. God would give us a magnificent feast at His banqueting table, and we have been content with leftovers. I currently do conferences in about fifty cities a year all across the United States. I train Sunday School teachers on how to double a class every two years or less. I talk to them about strategies they can use to grow their classes. After doing this for a few years and talking to hundreds of churches, I come away with a realization that strategies and methods are not the problem. The problem, in most cases, is that we do not enjoy God. We are bored with God, mad at the personnel committee, distracted by many things, or just plain numb. A lot of churches are a bit sleepy. Enjoying God offers a simple, six step process to finding consistent joy in God: Learn to live the well-lived life. Express your joy in God in worship. Attack the enemy. Do the things God has called you to do. Express your joy in God to others. Relate to others in healthy relationships. The book, conference, and video is based on these six steps.
