Publisher's summary
Fear-fed or joy-fueled? Ready for a change?
"Ground-breaking", "revolutionary", "refreshing", and "crucial". Thought leaders from around the world are talking about the impact this book is having on their own lives and work. These three authors bring together their decades of experience as pastors, missionary trainers, and consultants in one voice. The result is proving to be transformational worldwide.
Are you tired of being spiritually overfed yet undernourished? Are you worn out by all the things you “should” be doing? Are you burned out on religion and wanting to bring more connection and participation to conventional church? Or, are you one of the 65 million people in the United States alone who are “done” with church as they know it and searching for how to better engage as an organic church, simple church, or house church? Do you want to accept Jesus’ invitation to “get away with him and recover your life”?
This revolutionary yet practical book addresses the causes of burnout many Christians face and empowers them to join God in a joy-fueled movement of Jesus!
Vibrancy and joy are what Christians are promised. Yet, many have experienced the opposite: a guilt-ridden, duty-based, judgmental culture that has left them still searching for the life Jesus promised.
Perhaps, you find yourself:
- Trying to effect true life change, but feeling discouraged, tired, overwhelmed, and losing hope...
- Done with investing your life in a system that is not producing sustainable transformation in yourself or those you serve...
- Leaving conventional church altogether feeling discouraged, lonely, hurt, frustrated or apathetic...
- Searching for how to better engage as an organic church, simple church, or house church...
After more than 10 years of coaching individuals, families, and communities in the joy-fueled way described in this book, the authors have seen a spontaneous, worldwide movement spring up from six continents, bridging the divides of race, class, culture, privilege, and politics. It has been their delight to witness this movement emerging.
It is now their joy to share what they have learned:
- What joy is and why it is a superior fuel for motivation
- The harmful effects of using substitute “fuels” that leave us discouraged and burned out
- How you can nurture joy in yourself and your church (whatever form that might take)
- How the mission can be a spontaneous explosion of joy
In Joy Fueled, you will discover three practices that inspire hope to build the joy necessary to go the distance, foster mature relationships with others and with God, and overflow into a life of mission.

Story
Christianity has tended to focus on right beliefs and right choices as the keys for personal growth. But biblical evidence and modern brain science show that our character is shaped more by whom we love than what we believe. Through conversations he had with Dallas Willard at the Heart and Soul Conference shortly before Dallas' death, Jim Wilder shows how we can train our brains to relate to God based on joyful, mutual attachment - which leads to emotional and spiritual maturity as our identity and character are formed by our relationship with God.

In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families.

Why do we sometimes feel more connected in our relationships than at other times? Perhaps you sometimes find it easy and exciting to spend time with your loved ones - but sometimes, especially when things don’t according to plan, you feel incapable of connecting in conversations. You then feel distant from those you love most. What if the answer to remaining connected in relationships has been right under your nose - or, rather, right inside your head all along?

When your purpose is on the line, the cost of relational unintelligence is too great to pay. In this audiobook, you will explore and learn how to activate the relational intelligence you need for the life of purpose you want.

When a myriad of tense conversations about ideological differences in the Church left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist determined God must have a different vision for worship and community. In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way "practice-based faith". This book is about loving one's faith tradition and, at the same time, following the call to something deeper and richer.

Few spiritual concepts have fascinated and confused people more than understanding God’s calling for their life. Is it primarily about a job or a role? Is it precise or general? Is a calling only reserved for those who work in professional ministry? The truth is actually amazingly profound: What we are supposed to do is what we most want to do. This is a guide for discovering God’s design and destiny for your life.

Story
Is praying a duty or a delight? J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom say that it's both; an essential, expected practice as a follower of Christ, but also a privilege and joy. As we start out learning to pray properly, however, the delight often seems to be missing. Here is practical help for active, honest praying that involves all of who we are - heart, hands and head - and moves us to deeper obedience, joy and intimacy with our Father.

tank empty? this is a true refueling!
You need to read this book! It will bring joy to your heart and a smile on your face. The others consistently whisper and echo the corridors of Heaven with their gentle call to a deeper journey with God. The book points to something beyond The Gospel of Duty and Obligation...which is unfortunately the gospel most Christians are familiar with these days.
The authors John, Tony, and Kent give great perspective on the Christian Life animated and motivated by JOY. They sprinkle in psychology, ancient near Eastern biblical wisdom, the most recent brain science, and most surprisingly - even vision casting for the Church!
Imagine if every church, whether a group of two or three or two or three thousand, built their organizing principles as a group around this book's content! Imagine if you applied to your daily life their simple yet revolutionary spiritual disciplines of "checking in" and "listening" to your personal life, your marriage, your family, your small group, your church... and wow - to even strangers!
Toni shares her story of how she found compassion for a man who was aggressively trying to stir up confect with her and her family. Kent reminds us of God's provenience in the jaw-dropping story of a young boy asking God to show him a praying mantis. John shares the transformation of his heart to one of full emotional resilience and embracing the full heart Jesus gave him.
The best part of this book though is when they reveal that this is the first book in a series!
Thank you Kent, John and Toni for your commitment and service to all of us!

Concept to Fruitition
I was given a free version of this audio book for review. It is a book I would have likely read anyways though not necessarily in audio format.
As I began the audio I was concerned about how it would sound with three different readers (the three authors.) To my delight I found that the variety of voices enabled me to better distinguish between the different sections and concepts presented in the book.
The concept of joy fuelling our lives in Christ has a great deal of appeal to me. Being willing to share oneself with others and trust them is a missing element of most contemporary churches. How we get to that point in our relationship with Christ and others seems to be the essence of this book.
As a former DAWN Associate I have had the privilege of seeing the growth of the Luke 10 ministry from its’ inception. I found the book indicated a number of subtle changes, from the early Luke 10 to its’ present incarnation. For example the concept of “Listen to Jesus, obey and teach others” was changed in this book to “Listen to Jesus and receive”. However, I believe those who were influenced by the writings of Wolfgang Simson and Roland Allen among many others will discover many gems in this book.
Overall the audio book was very easy to listen to and I quickly consumed its’ contents. I would recommend the audio book to anyone interested in discovering how to allow Jesus to bring joy into their lives and share that joy with others.

Thoughtfully written
I rather enjoyed this book, and thought it had a few particular strengths. First, it does an excellent job acknowledging the problems faced by many post-modern Christians who are discouraged or disillusioned by unhealthy congregational and denominational churches. That is not to say that all churches are unhealthy, but certainly (and unfortunately) many are. Second, the book does a good job reconceptualizing common (often theologically suspect) ministerial motivation narratives from guilt- or obligation-driven to driven (or "fueled") by joy. It is quite refreshing!
“Joy Fueled” also provides a rather welcoming overview to one variant of the "house-church" model, as well as a challenge for readers to grow in flexibility and imagination as they engage and lean into creative communities of faith.
The first in a series, Joy Fueled does leave the reader asking a few questions I anticipate will be addressed in subsequent volumes. These questions include how to practically evaluate the health of a house church, roles and responsibilities within a house church, and whether, when and how house churches should be connected to the larger church or some form of eldership.
I often find there are two large categories into which many ministry books fall. The first is the "big idea" category. These encourage readers to consider something on a conceptual theological, or philosophical level. The second category focuses on practical application. Joy fueled is a thoughtfully written "big idea" book that would be best read with a companion "practical application" book, such as Mark Scandrette's Practicing the Way of Jesus in Everyday Life, or similar.
I look forward to the coming volumes of of this Luke 10 series!

I'm checking in: Encouraged! & Excited!
I am checking in: Encouraged! Excited! Ready for more!
I was delighted to find out about this book. On the surface it is presenting one of the five values of a group of churches. However, it is so much more than that! This book is an invitation to a deeper, more relational connection with Jesus and a simple "How to" so you can live with a deep well of joy in your daily life! The book has the right mix of teaching and stories. It is very balanced with examples of the authors' motivation, sound scriptural support, and how to practice this way of being the church.
When I say simple, I don't mean easy or dumbed down. Simple means the authors have done the hard work of removing the things that get in the way and shining a bright light on the path. Making things simple for others to follow is very difficult. But the authors have a very gentle way of inviting you on an ancient, well-worn path that the modern church has overlooked.
I will use this book in my own spiritual journey and the journey of those I mentor. It is an encouragement and not a condemnation. Be encouraged to connect to Jesus simply and very deeply. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Thank you!
Thank you for writing this book! I plan on listening to it several more times and can’t wait for the next book to come out. I’ve been walking with the Lord for about 35 years and now serve as a missionary overseas. This book opened my eyes in many ways and brought freedom, clarity and great insight that helped me personally and in turn the communities we serve.

Hope for the Church
This Book by John White, Kent Smith and Toni Daniels might just be exactly what the church is looking for right now. Such a hopeful and timely message when so many believers have given up all hope that there is indeed more to this Christian life than we have been led to believe. There is so much opposition to Christianity today, and that is surely set to increase, but if you want some real encouragement for the future of the church that Jesus is still building then get hold of this book. John, Kent and Toni will encourage and inform you with Godly wisdom and practical tools from a brain science as well as a sound Biblical foundation. Yes we can reach the nations with Jesus’ own plan for disciple making and church planting. While a little disjointed to listen to in places as an Audio book, “Joy Fueled” is a must read for all who want to find the “how to” plus long lasting motivation for the journey to complete the great commission.

Joy Filled Refreshment
I loved listening to this book read by the three different authors. You can hear the joy in their voices as they make this book come to life for you. If you are burnt out on church, this book will bring you encouragement and hope. You will hear about refreshing new ways to connect with and increase your intimacy with Jesus. You will hear about joyful motivation to fuel your relationship with Jesus and others. It was a wonderful and refreshing experience to listen to this book!
