The Joy of Blessing: Rejoicing Always, Dealing With Welcome Fatigue, and the Gift of Tongues Today

This week on Ponder, host Jack and the rest of the boys are joined by special guest Steph for a conversation about Sunday's sermon, The Joy of Blessing. They discuss what it looks like to "rejoice always" (Philippians 4:4), how we can do celebration well, how to welcome new people into community, overcoming the "welcome fatigue" that comes with that, and the relevance of the spiritual gift of tongues today.Listen to the sermon here: https://northernlife.org.au/resources/sermons/blessed-e4=====================CHAPTERSIntroduction (00:00)Sermon recap (01:05)Sermon reflections (02:01)How do we remember to “rejoice always?” (04:38)What does it look like to do celebration well?
