Got a question? Let us know!

In this episode, we delve into Philippians 3, discussing Paul's apparent change in tone from praising to seemingly boasting about his achievements. Through a relatable Betty Crocker illustration, we attempt to reconcile this perception of pride with Paul's consistent message of humility. The topic of legalism is also tackled, referencing the historical actions of the Judaizers. We discuss the restrictive do or do not do list that so often impacts people's engagement with the Church and their personal relationship with Jesus. There's also an exploration into the idea that while our actions are important, they should spring from a place of grace and freedom, not superficial outward appearances. The conversation turns joyous again while discussing Philippians 3:9b – 11 and finds balance in the pursuit of becoming more like Jesus without the pressure of reaching absolute perfection.
