Have you ever been sure there is something you cannot do or you are just sure someone else should do it? 
 
Janet McHenry, award-winning author of 27 books (including PrayerWalk and Praying Personalities), joins Angela to explore the real meaning of Philippians 4:13. Janet shares how God’s strength has carried her through seasons of uncertainty, career changes, and personal trials. Together, they discuss what it means to “do all things through Christ,” the importance of learning contentment, and how God provides strength—often through community and vulnerability—when life feels overwhelming.
 
Episode Highlights

Angela and Janet discuss the context of Philippians, focusing on Paul’s imprisonment, his encouragement to the Philippians, and the deeper meaning of “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
The conversation unpacks how contentment is learned over time and how God equips us for whatever He calls us to do—even when it feels beyond our reach.
Janet shares personal stories of God’s strength in her life, from career transitions to walking through her husband’s wrongful conviction and her sister’s battle with cancer.
Practical encouragement for listeners: God’s strength is often provided through community, vulnerability, and the willingness to ask for help—not just through individual grit.
