Philippians 1:20 (NIV) For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.

HOW TO LIVE A LIFE THAT MAGNIFIES CHRIST

How would your life change if you lived with boldness, and you were never ashamed or embarrassed to share your testimony about Christ?

I don’t know about you, but there are times when I fear being rejected as I share my faith with others. Especially in today’s toxic “cancel culture” world we live in. 

Paul address this fear in today’s verse. In Philippians 1:20, Paul uses some awesome visual images that you’d miss if you don’t go back to the original Greek language. 

Listen Now and discover Paul’s secret to living a life that is not ashamed to share the message of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:19 (NIV): Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.”

Do you ever find yourself looking around at your circumstances and just can't see how God can make anything good come from it?

I know I have. In fact, I'm dealing with that right now. And I find myself fighting the temptation to throw up my hands and give up. 

But then I read what Paul writes in Philippians 1:19 and realize that if Paul can rejoice in his circumstances, then so can I. 

Join us today, as we dive deeper and see 2 things Paul gives for rejoicing. 

My prayer is that after today, you and I begin to see life from God's viewpoint.

Philippians 1:15-18 (NIV): It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this, I rejoice.

HOW TO NOT LET MEAN PEOPLE SUCK THE JOY OUT OF YOU

Have you ever encountered someone that just seemed to live to make your life miserable?

Yep. Me, too.

Paul knew what we were going through. He experienced the same thing while in prison in Rome awaiting trial. There were people who were traveling around Rome trying to tear down everything that Paul worked so hard to build.

Why? Listen to today's 2:30 episode to hear this fascinating story!

Philippians 1:14 (NIV): And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.

HOW TO FIND THE CONFIDENCE TO PURSUE GOD'S CALLING ON YOUR LIFE (EVEN WHEN YOU WANT TO RUN THE OTHER WAY)

Do you have a calling on your life, but you're scared to pursue it? You look at all the possibilities that could go wrong, and you think that staying where you are now is the "safer" route?

I know exactly how you feel. I've been there. In fact, I still struggle with this daily.

The believers in the 1st Century dealt with the same emotions. Paul teaches us how they were able to change their focus and find the strength and confidence to carry out their purpose with boldness.

Listen now, and be set free from this mindset holding you back.

Philippians 1:13 (NIV): As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

HOW TO BREAK THE "CHAINS" HOLDING YOU BACK FROM GOD'S HIGHEST PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE.

Have you ever had a time in your life when you wanted to pursue a passion in your life, but it seemed like circumstances in your life were preventing you from succeeding?

You just knew without a doubt that God had given you this desire. So, why wasn't He removing these "chains" or barriers in your life so that you could pursue your purpose?

Maybe you're even going through this right now?

The Apostle Paul had the same struggle in his life. He always wanted to preach the gospel message in Rome, and yet, God had him in "chains" inside a prison in Rome for two years awaiting trial before Caesar Nero.

How could God ever take something like that and make something good from it?

Join us today to see how God used Paul's chains to accomplish God's highest purpose in Paul's life.

Once you understand what God is doing in your life, you can break free of these "chains" and pursue the purpose God has on your life with freedom.

LISTEN NOW!

It's easy to get discouraged when the world comes against you. Dreams that you've had for years can appear to get swept away from one unlucky break.
