#280 - 5 Stoic Rules to Make You Stronger (through a biblical lens)


Listen Later

Storms are coming, chaos is guaranteed, and if your foundation isn’t deeper than your feelings, you’re going to fold like a paper tiger.
That’s why in this episode, we’re looking at 5 ancient Stoic rules for life—principles that shaped warriors, leaders, and thinkers for over 2,000 years. But here’s the twist: I’m running all of them through the lens of Scripture. What we’ll see is that the Stoics didn’t invent these truths … God’s Word had them first.
👉 If you’ve been stuck in a rut … battling dark clouds of discouragement … or just needing some practical wisdom to help you grow stronger in mind, body, and spirit—this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode ...
Why philosophies like Stoicism need to be filtered through Scripture.
Rule #1: Control What You Can. Ignore What You Can’t.
Rule #2: Never React Emotionally. Pause, Process, Respond.
Rule #3: Expect and Embrace Hardships.
Rule #4: Silence Is Power.
Rule #5: Remember Death. Value Time Over Possessions.
How biblical wisdom gives us deeper roots than any philosophy.
Practical steps to live with resilience, discipline, and eternal focus.
