Paul tells the Philippians: “Only let us live up to what we have already attained.” John takes this personally and asks: “What do I actually know to be true?” He names five convictions — life is good, I ought to pursue the good, despair is wrong, I need help, and people are immensely valuable. These aren’t abstract doctrines but lived truths that can guide each moment. To shine is to be activated by what you know, not paralyzed by what you don’t.00:00 — What do I actually know to be true?00:28 — Why science can’t tell you what matters most01:16 — Paul’s command in Philippians 3:16 explained01:38 — Reflecting honestly: what do I know?02:06 — Truth #1: It is good to be alive03:17 — Why life is a gift worth celebrating05:25 — Gratitude: letting “good to be alive” shape your day06:10 — Truth #2: I ought to pursue the good07:15 — Truth #3: Why despair is always wrong08:34 — Truth #4: I need help (12 steps and prayer)09:26 — Truth #5: People are immensely valuable10:32 — Paul’s invitation: live up to what you already knowBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at [email protected] OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team😊 Join Our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/🤳Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/become.new/Music in this episode: Starry Dream - Uptempo by A.
