• Ephesians - Christian Standard Version

Stay grounded in God's Word and be encouraged by the spiritual blessings available to you in Christ!

From prison and facing possible death, Paul writes to the Philippians with joy, gratitude, and thanksgiving, showing deep contentment in his circumstances.

The episode highlights the book's central call for unity with humility, urging the church to keep preaching the gospel, avoid petty disagreements, and work together for God’s kingdom.

Listeners are encouraged to trust God in trials, cultivate a Christ-centered love that outweighs circumstances, and reflect on how to live united and humble in service to others.

Welcome to the Quiet Time Podcast as we close the book of Philippians with a reading of Philippians 4:1–23. This episode highlights practical counsel from Paul: rejoice always, do not worry, and bring your requests to God with thanksgiving.

Reflect on themes of contentment, the peace of God that guards hearts and minds, and living focused on what is true, honorable, and pure. A brief reflection question prompts listeners to consider their own contentment; next episode will explore who Paul was and his time in Philippi.

On the Quiet Time Podcast we slow down in God’s Word. This episode studies Philippians 3:12–21, reminding us to press forward toward Christ, leave the past behind, and pursue the prize of God’s heavenly call.

Listen for encouragement about our true identity in Jesus, the hope of bodily transformation, and a call to stand firm in the Lord. May you reflect on God’s love and find peace today.

Welcome to the Quiet Time Podcast, rooted in the Word. In this episode we read Philippians 3:1–11 (CSB) and hear Paul recount his former credentials and why he now considers all earthly gains as loss compared to knowing Christ.

We explore themes of rejecting confidence in the flesh, receiving righteousness through faith, sharing in Christ's sufferings and resurrection, and a reflection question on verse 7 with a reference to Romans 10:2–4.

May you reflect on God's love and find peace today. God bless.

Welcome to the Quiet Time Podcast, rooted in the Word, where we slow down and spend time in God’s Word, one passage at a time.

In this episode we continue in Philippians (CSB), focusing on Philippians 2:19–30. Paul updates the church at Philippi about his plans to send Timothy, praises Timothy’s genuine care and faithful service, and explains why he’s sending Epaphroditus, who nearly died while serving Paul. Reflect on the faithfulness, sacrifice, and honor shown in these brothers, and consider what God may be speaking to you through this passage.

Welcome to the Quiet Time Podcast with Bree — an introduction to slowing down, reading Scripture, and rediscovering a simple, personal relationship with God.

Bre shares her story of returning to faith, why she started this podcast to help new and struggling believers, and how quiet time can look different for everyone — prayer, worship, reading the Bible, or simply being present with the Lord.

Join her as she leads short passages, offers gentle guidance without legalism or pressure, and encourages listeners to grow naturally in sanctification. A recap of Philippians and reflection answers will follow when the book is complete. God bless.

In this episode of the Quiet Time Podcast, Rooted in the Word, we read Philippians 2:12–18 (CSB) and slow down to reflect on key themes: working out your salvation, God’s work in us, doing everything without grumbling, and shining like stars in a crooked generation.

We consider Paul’s example of joyful sacrifice — even being "poured out" for the faith — and close with reflection questions to help you apply these truths to daily life.

Welcome to the Quiet Time Podcast. In this episode we read Philippians 2:5–11, reflecting on Christ’s humility and exaltation: though he existed in the form of God, he emptied himself, took the form of a servant, became human, and humbled himself even to death on a cross. Because of this obedience, God highly exalted him and gave him the name above every name.

Reflect with us on how we practice humility, servitude, and obedience as we seek to adopt the same attitude as Christ. Thank you for joining today—may you feel God’s love and peace. God bless.
