Moments of Hope: 180 Nuns

Can 180 nuns teach us something about joy, hope, and even longevity?

This week's Moments of Hope explores a fascinating study that followed a group of Catholic nuns for more than 50 years. Researchers discovered that those who expressed the greatest joy, gratitude, and optimism early in life lived significantly longer than those who did not.

Long before modern science uncovered these findings, Scripture was already teaching that "a joyful heart is good medicine" (Proverbs 17:22). In this encouraging devotional, we'll explore the difference between happiness and biblical joy, why gratitude shapes our perspective, and how the presence of Christ can sustain us through every season of life.

Take a few minutes this week to watch 180 Nuns and discover how a joyful heart can strengthen your hope and deepen your faith.
