Who helps you when work piles on top of you?

In this episode, Tom Nelson explores a deeply human and often painful reality: what do you do when your work—and life—don’t turn out the way you hoped?

Through a moving real-life story and the encouraging words of the Apostle Paul in Epistle to the Philippians, Tom shows how even in seasons of disappointment, loss, and struggle, there is a path forward marked by resilience, faith, and hope.

Drawing on Philippians 4:4–7, you’ll discover how Paul, writing from a prison cell, speaks powerful truth into our hardest moments—inviting us to rejoice, to pray instead of worry, and to experience a peace that goes beyond our circumstances. When life feels like it’s knocked you flat, these words offer a way to rise again with renewed strength.

You’ll learn:

-How to respond when your work and life feel broken or off track

-Why joy and peace are still possible even in difficult circumstances

-What it means to reset your perspective through God’s bigger story

-A simple, practical way to take your next step forward this week

Because even when your work knocks you down—you are not alone, and with God’s help, you can get back up again.
