From the Archives: Kyla MacDonald: Standing Firm in Shaky Times

In this From the Archives episode of The Takeaway, we revisit a message from Chaplain Kyla MacDonald, originally shared during the Week 8, Term 2 Chapel at HillSide Christian College. Drawing from Philippians 4, Kyla explores how we can stand firm when life feels heavy or uncertain, whether we're facing conflict, stress, anxiety, comparison, or everyday pressures. Through Paul's example, we're encouraged to build habits of prayer, gratitude, healthy thinking, and time in God's Word, remembering that true peace, joy, and stability aren't found in our circumstances, but in Jesus.—You can connect with us further at hillside.wa.edu.au or on Instagram @hillsidechristiancollege or Facebook @hillsidechristiancollege1—HillSide Christian College is a Christ-centred K–12 school situated in Perth, Western Australia.
