Joyce Meyer rubbed me the wrong way the first few times I listened to her....(rough around the edges) but I gave her the benefit of the doubt...and now enjoy her matter-of-fact persona and teaching of the Word. She uses her prior mistakes in life as examples to others (which takes true humbleness before the Lord) and makes jokes about her resistance to being a submissive wife... relating how the Lord had to straighten her out and utilize that strong-willed nature for Him and not for her own selfish desires. I can relate.....believe me. *chuckle*
I'm not a JM junkie... but I think she's sincere and has solid teaching.
Yep, she rubbed me wrong at first too--I think I was expecting another phony, like Swaggart or those others, but she's not and I like her myself. She's teaching sounding doctrine. God has given her the gift of teaching.
