Episode 214 - Do, and the God of Peace Shall Be with You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s one thing to admire a beautiful path. It’s another thing to walk it. We can read Scripture. Listen to sermons. Study the lives of the saints. And yet still leave unchanged if those truths never find their way into our daily lives. God never intended His Word to remain only in our minds. He desires that it take root in our hearts and bear fruit through our actions. As Paul concludes this section of practical instruction, he offers one final encouragement. The truths he has shared are not mer
Episode 213 - Whatsoever Things Are True (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our minds are constantly being filled with something. News headlines. Conversations. Memories. Worries. Plans for tomorrow.

Other times it comes like a wave, leaving us feeling overwhelmed by circumstances we cannot control. The more we try to carry everything ourselves, the heavier the burden becomes. Paul understood that life was filled with reasons to be anxious. He wrote these words while imprisoned. He faced uncertainty about h
Episode 210 - Let Your Moderation Be Known (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world often celebrates those who are the loudest. The quickest to respond. The first to defend themselves. We are told that strength means standing our ground at every opportunity. Winning every argument. Never letting anyone take advantage of us. Yet the life of Christ reveals another kind of strength. A strength that remains calm when others are angry.
