Would you like to have more joy?

Would you like your joy to be independent of circumstances?
Would you like your joy to be contagious?

I know, that sounds impossible. Your circumstances aren’t ideal. Your relationships aren’t what you want them be. You just don’t have a joyful personality, so trying to show joy would be fake. You’re probably thinking that if God wanted you to be joyful, he’d fix all the problems in your life. You don’t see that happening any time soon, so why pretend to be joyful?

I understand how you feel. I’ve been a joy deficient person most of my life. I think it left when I was a teenager and I’ve struggled with the whole idea of joy ever since. To me it was a desirable concept that sounded great but rarely a personal experience.

Through my years as a mental health physician, I observed the many issues that robbed joy from people. I was also able to walk many to recovery, so they could discover joy, usually for the first time in their lives. Kathy is a prayer minister and she has spent years exposing and removing the root causes of joylessness.

At the Discover Joy weekend, you will uncover the joy stealers in your life. You will understand how mental, spiritual and emotional issues rob your joy and affect how you think, feel and relate to others. You will learn the Change How You Think, three step pathway to resolve those issues and experience the joy you’ve always wanted. Don’t stay stuck!
This weekend is for singles, couples... for everyone!

The weekend comes in two formats:
1. Our signature weekend every September at a hotel in Burlington, Ontario where we will have seven sessions to Discover Joy.
2. Weekends in churches with a selection of topics from the main September event.

Don’t settle for less than God’s best for you. Register now and join us at the Discover Joy weekend.

What people are saying about the Discover Joy (formerly Emotionally Free) Weekend.

…I needed these tools to transform my life.

I walked in with shame and burdens. Now I feel the weight off my shoulders. I know I’m free! God gave me this freedom on the Cross but I needed these tools to transform my life.

Words cannot express my gratitude!

Words cannot express my gratitude for what I learned at the Discover Joy Conference. I received so much understanding and clarity during the conference about all the emotions I had experienced as a child, teenager and adult, and how they formed my personality and opinions, and, more importantly, how satan uses lies about those experiences to form baggage in my life! It was liberating to know how to hear God's truths about my situations and prayerfully deal with them. For the first time in a long time I slept right through the night peacefully after the weekend.  I feel light, joyful and hopeful about my future.

The weekend was such a blessing to me.

Being set apart in a hotel for the weekend to hear these teachings, allowed uninterrupted concentration so that the truths could be heard and understood, without distraction.
Under the Holy Spirit's guidance, the teachings and the prayer ministry that followed, helped me to get free from bondages of shame, passivity, sexual abuse and overachieving struggles I have battled with for years.
Especially helpful was learning how to hear God's voice and to have it reinforced that God's desire is to have a close relationship with us. I also appreciated the humour in the cartoons that were part of the presentation. I feel as though I have been given a new lease on life.

God spoke to me this weekend

Thank you for holding such a great Discover Joy event. God spoke to me this weekend by providing answers to my question about how to proceed in a difficult situation. The topic being presented was addressing my difficulty and answers were being provided so that It seemed the Lord was choosing this venue to speak to me. Quite unexpected and very exciting! Thank you Kathy and Grant for hosting a fantastic well organized event.

…an engaging seminar that integrates insights into body, soul and spirit.

Dr. Grant and Kathy Mullen’s Emotionally Free Weekend is an engaging seminar that integrates insights into body, soul and spirit. Dr. Mullen provides important information to help Christians understand mood disorders and helps to remove the stigma that has long existed in the Christian community on this topic. There are also many helpful materials to assist Christian counsellors and others working with hurting persons. I was able to identify areas in my own life where I need to experience further healing, and very much appreciated the prayer times after each session. We were invited to “soak” in God’s love, and invite His presence into our most vulnerable areas. I heartily recommend this seminar, and Dr. Mullen’s materials, to all Christians seeking to go further in their walk with God.

The Discover Joy weekend has been very healing for me

The Discover Joy weekend has been very healing for me - in my self concept and also revealing how my conclusions about myself from an event when I was 6 years old have influenced my relationships ever since.  And I am 73 years old! I thank God and you both that he wanted me there. I don't have to live with those conclusions anymore!

Thank you so much for a great time at the Emotionally Free Weekend

Thank you so much for a great time at the Emotionally Free Weekend. I just wanted to let you know the impact it had on my life. I have been going through a very difficult time the last two years with bouts of anger, depression, sadness and anxiety. Back to your seminar: I pictured Jesus for the first time embracing me as a loving father would embrace a child. I experienced such love in such a pure way like I never have before. And I wept. Now when I feeI anxious or depressed, I ask Jesus to embrace me again and He does. I was never embraced by my earthly father nor did he ever tell me he loved me. This has transformed me. I am able to receive Jesus’ love for me for the first time and genuinely know that He will never leave me nor forsake me no matter what happens in my life. Thank you for helping me get beyond head knowledge to my heart. I feel like I am on my way to recovery finally.

I was tremendously blessed…

I was tremendously blessed and it was truly a very valuable experience for me to attend the Emotionally Free weekend! I felt such a deep peace and love of the Lord and at one point I felt that Jesus was right there in the room with us and moving about healing us. I was deeply touched that weekend and I am moving forward in my healing journey as I committed to do. It was a privilege to attend this amazing weekend. It was life-changing for sure!

…it was like clicking the refresh button!

I recently attended one of Dr. Grant and Kathy Mullen’s, seminars. It was like clicking the refresh button! I  found it most inspiring and it motivated me to apply those freedom principles once again, and share the seminar’s tools with  members of my church. Pastor I.M. Clearwater B.C.

What a difference ten hours of practical truth delivered with wit and humble testimony has made in my life!

I have been struggling for quite some time and was ultimately diagnosed as depressed with anxiety disorder.  I have been very busy attending group therapy for this and have been studying CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. Grant & Kathy together have made more sense about the truth of what I am dealing with in teaching about the physical, emotional AND spiritual connection.  Understanding that God is in control and trusting in His promises has been re-established in my heart.  I am now able to CONFIDENTLY “challenge the origin of every thought!”

The Lord was all over the weekend!

The Lord was all over the Discover Joy weekend! The shotgun blast of information

God spoke to my heart while I was listening…

God spoke to my heart while I was listening to the Word and I was reminded of His real love for me just as I am! I also realized how I was stuck in my own mud. We had fun too!! I have been changed on the inside since I went. I have a purpose and a quality in my life today. I will go again to hear more.
