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. [Chronic Pain • Shame in Illness]
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. [Anxiety • Depression]
PARENTING
When chronic illness and pain are part of the family, we need more strength, resolve, perseverance, and courage than we ever imagined. Yet, we also discover the rich blessings of presence, compassion, perspective, and profound love as we learn to live and parent five minutes at a time.

What is the Truth about Healing?
Could it be ... that, like a coin, both sides of the same argument are true? That miraculous healing is possible and that chronic illness is just as miraculous from a heavenly perspective?
