Battling the Joy Stealers, Lisa Howard
Our 2025 Women’s Retreat speaker was Lisa Howard, a retired nurse and a member of Harvest OPC in San Marcos where she serves as a Sunday school teacher and Women’s Bible study leader. She has been an OPC Women’s Retreat participant for many years and was the MC for over 10 years. Her passion is being a life-long student of God’s Word with the goal of always learning and growing in Gospel joy. The topic she spoke on was “Battling the Joy Stealers.” Lisa brought us 4 messages from the book of Philippians where she looked at four joystealers and four weapons to combat each.
1) Circumstances and Single Mindedness
2) People and the Submissive Mind
3) Things and the Spiritual Mind
4) Worry and the Secure Mind
Morning devotions were led by Carol Troxel.
