39) Monday Devo - Philippians 1:2 "All About the Grace"

In this episode of the podcast, host Carrie Hurley kicks off a new series focusing on the book of Philippians, written by Paul during his imprisonment in Rome, with the aim of providing listeners with encouragement and fresh insights on life. Carrie shares her personal struggle with perfectionism, introducing the theme of grace through Philippians 1:2, and highlights its significance by referencing Michelle Will's definition of grace as God's all-sufficient power. She reads Matthew 11:28-30 to emphasize the importance of finding rest and walking with God, while also noting that 12 of Paul's letters begin with messages of grace and peace. Carrie encourages listeners to embrace these concepts and offers uplifting readings from Romans. Additionally, she promotes available Philippians devotionals on theversething.com, announces an upcoming Advent series launching December 1st, and invites listeners to return next Monday for further exploration of Philippians 1:9, while also providing a special promotion code (Promo Code - TVT50) for the Advent series in the show notes.
