The fact that Angela Donadio has written a book about Finding Joy is a true testament to her faith and strength. 
She shares her health struggles that are not obvious. Someone from the outside looking in would think that she has the ‘perfect’ life. For this reason, I was engrossed in her story as she shared her two life threatening experiences. When she challenges you to find joy in any situation she is coming from a place of having been there. She does not make this statement flippantly. With this in mind, she motivates us to make our lives matter.
If you didn’t watch our interview from CBA Unite 2018 live you can watch the recording below. Angela shares some of the story behind “Finding Joy When Life is Out of Focus”. A special treat is the God-moment she had on the plane on the way to Nashville to our CBA Unite event. This study of Philippians for Joy-Thirsty Women is launching Sept 1, with a pre-launch and group specials releasing in August!
We would love to hear what you think.
