Welcome to the Quiet Time Podcast, rooted in the Word. In this episode we continue in the book of Philippians and read Philippians 2:1-4 (Christian Standard Bible), focusing on themes of Christian humility, unity, and putting others before ourselves.

Reflect with the host on why Paul emphasizes unity among believers and how love and humility shape our relationships. Thank you for spending time in God's Word; may you feel God's peace today.

How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth

by Gordon D. Fee and Douglass Stuart

In this episode of Quiet Time Podcast — Rooted in the Word — we read Philippians 1:21–30 (CSB) and reflect on Paul’s declaration, “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”

We consider Paul’s tension between longing to be with Christ and remaining for the progress and joy of the believers, the call to live worthy of the gospel as citizens of heaven, and the reality of suffering for Christ.

Reflection question: What does Paul mean by “standing firm in one spirit, in one accord”?
