Chronic Joy®
Making a difference one precious life at a time.
Chronic Joy is a global resource ministry dedicated to compassionately serving all those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, and disability by providing accessible, easy-to-use, faith-based educational resources and publications.
CHRONIC ILLNESS
As we journey through diagnoses and treatment plans, loss and isolation, sadness and grief, we can also discover the gifts of laughter, joy, and hope along the way.
CAREGIVERS
A caregiver’s role can be rewarding and exhausting, difficult and joy-filled, meaningful and frustrating, isolating and inspiring—discovering God’s joy as you care for your loved ones.
MENTAL ILLNESS
Stigma, isolation, loneliness, and shame often follow a diagnosis of mental illness. With God, mental illness has no stigma. You are His precious child, deeply loved and fully accepted.

Making the Most of Who You Are • Especially the Parts You Don’t Like
My strengths are closely tied to what I label as “weaknesses.” Perhaps it’s about focusing on the parts that are helpful and letting the other stuff go.
How Can I Live with this Suffering?
Lord, “How can I possibly live with this suffering?” In the silent space of my soul, I sensed Him saying, “One day at a time.”
A Caregiver’s Shopping List
I was running on empty. My body was weary, and my mind and heart were dry. Sometimes, it felt like caring for the needs of my chronically ill wife took up all the time and space in my life. I needed new tools but wasn’t sure I could find the right place to shop for them.
