Paul says to shine, we need joy… so joy is what we study today. Paul wrote to the Philippians from the grimmest of circumstances - in jail, facing death, brutally beaten, and yet his letter was filled with calls to rejoice. How could that be? Paul seems to have figured out the secret that joy isn’t rooted in success or control. It’s grounded in something much deeper: that Christ has risen and death itself has been defeated.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.
