Why would you tread paths of joy? How do you tread paths of joy? What are paths of joy?

Well-worn paths of joy are evidence of the delightful habit of consistently walking with Jesus. However, the turmoil of the current world and the struggles of daily life often pose threats to the formation of these paths. In Well-Worn Paths: Treading Paths of Joy Through a Study of Philippians, Catherine L Hill introduces a fresh perspective of joy and charts four paths revealed in Paul's letter to the Philippian church. As you tread each path of joy, you will discover practical, biblical steps for rejoicing in what matters most regardless of circumstances. So join Catherine in this 7-week study as you remove rocks of doubt and fear from your path and trample the tall grasses of worry and pain. Pull on your boots and link arms with her as you begin treading well-worn paths that result in a joyful, stronger, deeper relationship with Christ.
