I went to see Joyce yesterday in Phoenix. I am a new Christian and have really enjoyed listening to Joyce and love her "Battlefield of the Mind" devotional. Her ministry has helped me find my way to Christ and for that I am grateful. But, after seeing her, I understand that I have grown away. I am In the Word now and read the Bible daily, am in a bible study and pray to my Lord. The show just felt wrong. The amount of commercialism that was there, the pitching and plugging for money, the hype and drama...it was all too much. I was there for the Word and THREE hours after arrival, she FINALLY came on stage and delivered the a sermon that didn't sound much different than anything I could have listened to on one of her tapes...nothing really new. And what I sought was THE WORD OF GOD. I think I have grown out of Joyce. No offense. I am glad she helped me find Jesus.
