Daring Joy: What Six Women in the Bible Teach Us About the Power of Celebration When It Feels Risky, Complicated, and Even Impossible

Daring Joy by Nicole Zasowski invites women into a bold and honest pursuit of joy—even when it feels risky, complicated, or impossible. In this six-session Bible study, Zasowski highlights six women in Scripture who celebrated God in the midst of heartache, uncertainty, fear, and transition. From Miriam’s song of praise after deliverance to Mary’s joy in obedience despite the unknown, these stories reveal how joy is not just a response to our circumstances, but a courageous act of faith.

Each session helps participants understand that joy isn’t always loud, polished, or Instagram-worthy. Sometimes it’s a whisper of trust, a defiant hallelujah, or a sacred surrender. Zasowski, known for her vulnerability and biblical insight, offers meaningful reflection questions, practical applications, and video teaching that encourages women to discover joy as something God deeply desires for them—even when life feels far from joyful.

Perfect for small groups or personal study, Daring Joy is for anyone longing to experience the freedom and beauty of joy rooted in Christ. Whether you’re walking through a challenging season or supporting someone who is, this study gently guides you to find celebration even in the midst of sorrow. Let this be your invitation to a joy that dares to rise—even when life doesn’t make it easy.
