Bob joyce preacher

Joyce Meyer: a supremely gifted, faithful and passionate preacher of the word, or a proponent of a prosperity-gospel message and teacher of self-help? Writing a précis of one of the world’s best-known female preachers is a notoriously difficult task, not least because opinions held on Joyce are wildly varied.Joyce’s frank, straight-talking teaching style has certainly earned her an enormous radio and TV audience as well as a packed international ministry schedule, which this year included a UK tour and a visit to Premier. She attended the interview with her husband, two sons and bodyguards, and there was a sense in which she seemed somehow protected by those gathered, as well as guarded in her words. Joyce is open about having been criticised in her ministry right from the start. She has had to develop a robustness, so perhaps carefully monitoring what she will and won’t speak up on is the only way forward.PEOPLE CLAP AND CHEER AND ADORE ME, BUT WHEN I GO TO BED AT NIGHT, I GIVE IT BACK TO GODJoyce’s first visit to church was almost accidental. Her parents, she says, had no interest in going to church themselves, but a neighbour wanted to take Joyce with her. There was no altar call during the service, but wanting the salvation from Christ she had heard about in the sermon, nine-year-old Joyce approached the preacher at the end and asked him how she could be saved. She asked Christ into her heart that night.‘I always tease and say I went to church that night for the purpose of being saved and I took two of my cousins with me, and said, “We are all going to get saved.” So I guess I had a little bit of a Christian leadership in me, even back then’.Joyce’s childhood was tragically marked by the abuse she experienced at the hands of her father: sexual, verbal and mental. She describes him as a ‘mean and violent’ alcoholic. As a teenager, she says her only ambition was ‘to survive life and get out of his house’. At 18, she left home and began her career in a series of office jobs. Crippled by low self-esteem, Joyce believed no one would ever want her, and she married ‘the first young guy that came along that showed any interest’.‘I always say that desperate people do desperate things,’ she says, as she reflects on that first,

Stunned silence, unable to process the magnitude of the tragedy.**”I can’t believe it’s gone,”** one church member, Janet Davis, said through tears. **”This church was everything to us. It’s where we came to find peace, to worship, to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. And now it’s all gone in the blink of an eye.”**Another member, Henry Roberts, expressed disbelief at the loss. **”We never imagined something like this could happen. Pastor Joyce’s sermons have been a source of strength for us all. We thought this building was indestructible, in a way, because it was more than just wood and bricks—it was built on faith.”**Many church members echoed these sentiments, reflecting on the role that Pastor Bob Joyce and the church had played in their lives. For some, it was a place where they found redemption and healing. For others, it was a refuge in times of hardship. The church had long been a place of comfort, not only for its congregation but for the wider community as well.**”This church was the heart of our town,”** said Martha Johnson, a longtime resident. **”It didn’t matter if you were a regular member or just someone passing through—Pastor Joyce made everyone feel welcome. He had a gift for making people feel like they belonged, and that was reflected in this church. This loss feels personal to all of us.”**### **Pastor Bob Joyce’s Response**Pastor Bob Joyce, who has been a pillar of strength and leadership for the congregation over the years, was deeply affected by the fire. In a statement issued to the press, Pastor Joyce expressed his profound sorrow over the loss of the church but reaffirmed his faith in God’s plan.**”This church may be gone, but our faith remains,”** Pastor Joyce said. **”While we are heartbroken over the destruction

Netflix As fans will note, there's been a lot of conjecture about if and how Season 4's Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) could possibly return in the final episodes of "Stranger Things." When you consider that we've already seen characters come back from the dead in reality, like Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine), and in visions, like Billy Hargrove (Dacre Montgomery), it seems like few characters are off the table for a return cameo when the series takes its final bow.Still, one dead character in "Stranger Things" won't be making a return if the performer behind his character is to be believed. Sean Astin played Joyce Byers' (Winona Ryder) lovable goofball boyfriend Bob Newby in Season 2 of the series. Unfortunately for him, his character died horribly when he was ripped apart by an attacking Demodog, and Astin isn't expecting to be reprising his role in Season 5.The actor recalled being asked by fans at a panel whether he would return for more "Stranger Things," and he suggested it was pretty unlikely (via The Direct). "'Are you gonna be in 'Stranger Things,' and I would say, 'No, I'm dead.' But why couldn't they do a flashback to a happier time with—I know why they won't," he joked. "Because it's going to be Hopper and Joyce, and they're not going to want to flashback to a time when she was actually happy." Was Joyce happier with Bob in Stranger Things Season 2? Netflix While Joyce's relationship with Bob in Season 2 may not have all the spy-fighting drama and Demogorgon action that her relationship with Jim Hopper (David Harbour) can boast, it does seem like in terms of a "normal relationship," Bob Newby was a much better match for her.The two laughed, played around, and had great romantic chemistry. Heck, Bob was even great with Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Will (Noah Schnapp). Still, as Sean Astin suggested, after "Stranger Things" spent two whole seasons trying to get Joyce and Hopper together at last, it does seem unlikely that they would want to dim that light.On the other hand, with Vecna's (Jamie Campbell Bower) powers still in play for the 5th and final season of the series, it does seem very possible for Bob to possibly get a brief return to "Stranger Things" as the show heads toward its curtain call.Furthermore, Astin wouldn't be the first actor to emphatically deny that we'll be seeing more of him before popping up in the finished product after all. While "Stranger Things" Season 5 will doubtlessly have a lot to pay off, that likely doesn't mean we won't see a few callbacks along the way.

Himself to be a loving and caring boyfriend during his brief appearance. The couple were infatuated with one another and made plans to move away from Hawkins, but before they could make it out, Bob met a terrible fate with some terrifying dog-like creatures. Bob was a truly good man and could have made a great addition to the Byers family, providing love, and support and a father figure in a home that struggled with instability up to that point. However, Bob gave up his life to save his beloved Joyce, and the kids escaped safe and sound. While he is clearly a positive influence and would be a worthy character to give a second chance at life, his return would majorly complicate Joyce's current relationship. Since Bob was killed, Joyce and Hopper have grown close, and gone to extreme lengths to protect each other. Bringing Bob back would complicate the dynamic, and either take up too much time in the final season or risk ruining the story already being written.

Short-lived marriage. She had a child with her first husband, and then went on to meet the ‘fine Christian’ man she has now been married to for almost 49 years.Forty years into her life as a preacher and minister, 72-year-old Joyce has written more than 100 books and heads up a ministry with more than 700 employees based in the St Louis suburb of Fenton, Missouri. Her four adult children are all involved in Christian ministry. Controversy around finance has surrounded Joyce in recent years. She is said to use a private jet as her regular means of transport and is reputed to have had extensive plastic surgery. In November 2003, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a fourpart special report referencing her ‘$10 million corporate jet, her husband’s $107,000 Mercedes sedan, her $2 million home…’ Meyer and her family were subsequently investigated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Joyce Meyer Ministries was later one of six investigated by the United States Senate inquiry into the tax-exempt status of religious organisations by Senator Chuck Grassley.In 2009, Joyce Meyer Ministries received accreditation from the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), which stated that in terms of the ministry’s financial accountability, transparency, board governance and fundraising practices, it had met their requirements of ‘responsible stewardship’.WE CAN NEVER HEAR TOO MUCH TEACHING ABOUT WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO WALK IN LOVEFinances aside, the practical outreach wing of Joyce’s ministry is evidently deeply significant to her. ‘We have a large prison ministry, which I am very fond of and we have placed almost three million books in prison cells now… It is amazing how many people come to Christ through that,’ she says. Her Hand of Hope ministry also runs medical missions, has funded the digging of wells and 36 orphanages, and works against human trafficking. ‘We work a lot through partners that are on the ground. I feel sometimes like we are a bridge. We minister to people that give, then we take what they give and distribute it out in the places where it has the most need,’ she says.So what of the future of a ministry that is apparently located around the vision and teaching of one woman? Joyce says her sons Daniel and David, who work in the ministry with her, are likely to take it forward when she steps down. But she says there are unanswered questions here. ‘Our
