Listen "Courageous Joy"
Episode Synopsis
Courageous Joy can be found at any time because it is a choice.
Have you ever gone through a tough moment in life and just wanted it to be over? Have you ever hit a point in life you’d rather Jesus just come, or for Him to call you to be with Him? Know that you are not alone!
Paul shares with us that He wants to be with Christ so bad, but He knows that there are benefits to still being here, on earth. He knows that God can work in him and through him. That Paul can continue to teach and encourage the Philippians in their journey with Christ and that more people could come to know Christ because of his life. It is the same with you.
As we wrestle with life, God calls us to more. He says to us, “whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” Basically, life is going to happen and in that I still want you to live the way I am asking you to live and help people know me. The good news, besides the gospel hehe, is that we can, and Philippians 1:27-30 shows us how! We can STAND, STRIVE, SAVED, and SUFFER. Through all four we can find that Courageous Joy.
