from Healthy & Redeemed - Helping Christians Grow in Mental and Spiritual Health · host Healey Ikerd, LPC, LMFT
Send us your thoughts through Fan Mail Have you ever thought that you'd finally be happy once something changes — more money, a new relationship, the next milestone? In this episode, we dig into what it really means to be content, as something we're called to learn. We'll look at what Philippians 4 says about contentment, including Philippians 4:13 — a verse most people know as motivation for pushing through something, but is actually Paul's declaration that he learned to be content in any circumstance through the strength of Christ. We'll also look 1 Timothy 6:6-10 and Hebrews 13:5, and talk honestly about what discontentment costs us. If you've ever caught yourself thinking "I'll be at peace when ___," this episode is for you.
