Main Points

What's my purpose? -Philippians 1:12-18

I am a servant of the living God.

May 26, 2025When God Says No
What do you do when you diligently pray about something, but God’s answer is no? Chip explores this thought-provoking topic in this program as he studies 2 Corinthians chapter 12. He opens up about his own struggles with accepting a "no" from God, but the valuable lesson he is learning and the unexpected ways God is blessing the work of Living on the Edge anyway.
Main Points
Finding Strength in "No" --- Sometimes, God doesn’t change our circumstances because He’s doing something deeper—perfecting His power in our weakness and drawing us closer to Him through grace.
Choosing Joy, Love, Hope, and Peace --- Even when life is painful or uncertain, we’re not victims. We can choose joy, love, hope, and peace—not based on feelings or outcomes, but grounded in God’s truth and Spirit.
Living on the Edge: Global Impact --- Chip’s personal suffering didn’t limit his ministry—it expanded it. Living on the Edge is now reaching millions globally, reminding us that when we surrender our pain, God can turn it into purpose.
