Substance Abuse and Fake Joy, Joyce Mercer and Charles Edward Atkins, Jr. – Video and Discussion Outline
Dr. Joyce Mercer and Rev. Charles Edward Atkins, Jr. explore the relationship between substance abuse and fake joy.
Questions for Discussion:
What is our theology of joy? What joy can our community offer as an alternative to the substance abuse that masquerades as joy?
How can we make this experience of God a priority in our time with youth, in our programming, in our future planning?
How do we encourage youth to make this reality a part of their daily lives? How do we model this understanding of our identity in God as being a very real part of our own daily lives?
