The Jon Peacock Podcast

On Sunday Jon taught us about the humility we are called to as Christians in Philippians 2. Today, Dr. Sanjay Merchant helps us understand our own humility by showing us Jesus' humility seen in His incarnation.

This #FridayWhyDay is all about reputation. We can break the assumption that people have about us and Christianity as a whole by living questionable lives. Are you living a life that is causing people to stop and wonder why you're different?

Moving forward and away from fear takes intentionality. Recalibrating focus helps us build toward something less reactive and more proactive. Today, Jon and Bryan Silver are discussing the two key aspects to recalibrate focus.

Context is key and that's exactly what we're doing today! We're diving deeper into Philippians 1 with Dr. Sanjay Merchant and how we can obey Philippians 1:27-28 by standing firm in one Spirit and striving together in Christ.

Jon, Tommy and Dan dig into the book Flesh: Bringing the Incarnation Down to Earth by Hugh Halter, and talk about what it really looks like to follow Christ - the 7 days a week, 24 hours a day kind of following Christ. How do we truly “imitate Christ”?

There is a lot of uncertainty today that makes it easy to get wrapped up in fear. Fear is a natural reaction to things like job loss, financial hardship, etc. It goes beyond a matter of anxiety. There are times that fear is healthy. We should be afraid of some things. But it becomes disrupting to life when fear begins to cross that boundary from healthy to unhealthy. Unhealthy fear can hold us back from the things we need to do. We need to learn how to engage with fear in a healthy way, and to work through fear in a way that does not allow it to interrupt our lives. Tune in to hear how you can resist being ruled by fear.

Today we are taking a deep dive into the book of Philippians with Professor of Theology, Dr. Sanjay Merchant. If you would consider yourself a "history buff", this episode is for you!

"Stay the course" is a huge part of growing intentionally. We stick together, we grow intentionally, and we volunteer and give of ourselves for other people! There is always something that we can do, so don’t miss the opportunity to DO SOMETHING!

We all have rhythms. Whether it's when you brush your teeth or how you schedule your week. When our rhythms get out of place, (hello, 2020) we struggle. It's normal for our rhythms to get jolted. But rhythms empower our ability to engage purpose. How can you find a new rhythm this fall so that you can re-engage purpose?

Jon talks with Hannah Gronowski, founder of Generation Distinct and author of "Generation Distinct: Discover the Wrong You Were Born to Make Right". Hannah has a huge passion to help young adults find their purpose in life and resist the culture of apathy and victim mentality. ”Your life is not happening TO you. YOU are happening to your life!” - Hannah Gronowski
