You are not defined by your circumstances (1 Corinthians 7:8-40)

What this episode covers

“Stay where you are” is Paul’s call to the Corinthian church. For both them and us this call feels very alien; being discontent is encouraged- get a new job, move to a new place, get a new partner… We’re discontent with these things because we place our identity in these things. Paul’s message to the Corinthian church is a simple one– stay where you are, remain in the situation that God has put you in because you are not defined by your circumstances, but in Christ.
