We provide relevant, engaging, and encouraging content that is intended to infuse the joy of Jesus into the hearts and homes of the women we reach. Each article on the blog should uphold The Joyful Life Mission: to inspire women to pursue joy and discover beauty in their daily lives by grounding their hearts in Christ, leading them to live and love well—for the purpose of glorifying God.
We invite solid, experienced writers, with unique and engaging voices, to share on specific topics with a ‘come alongside the reader’ perspective. The tone of our blog is gentle, encouraging, and empathetic. We are especially interested in pieces that convey a deep level of humility and understanding—from the perspective of a writer who has learned something valuable through her own struggles and experiences and wishes to share her lessons learned with others.
We look forward to reading your heartfelt words!
