This Month at DJJ

Hi ! 👋 Dr. Mark here from Discipleship Journeys with Jesus.

In 2026, do you want to change your life? In what ways? Do you want to deepen your relationship with the Lord? Lose weight? Build a business? Earn a degree? Become a better parent or family member? There are many ways for you to make these changes happen, but a starting point is to change your daily habits.

The Apostle Paul wrote: “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:14) 🏃‍♂️ I encourage you to begin this year by asking yourself, "What daily habits do I need to practice to live the life Jesus is calling me to live?"

From everyone here at the DJJ Team, may you have a blessed and joyful New Year! Here's a look at what's happening this month at DJJ...

Testimony of the Month

"I thought I was a well-seasoned Christian, having had a life-changing experience with Jesus in 1974, until I joined the ladies Bible study under the leadership of Carolyn Williams, at New Song Community Church. We completed Quarters 1 to 4 of DJJ in a few years. DJJ continued to change my life as I grew more & more spiritually since the "light bulb" of my understanding was illuminated. I desire to follow Jesus the way that the Apostle Paul did. I, too, have some thorns in my flesh.Thank you, Dr. Mark Williams & Carolyn, and the DJJ Team, who work so hard to bless others with the 'Gift that keeps on Giving.'" — Barbara Calderone
