Quiet Time Podcast: Rooted in the Word

In this episode of Quiet Time Podcast — Rooted in the Word — we read Philippians 1:21–30 (CSB) and reflect on Paul’s declaration, “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” We consider Paul’s tension between longing to be with Christ and remaining for the progress and joy of the believers, the call to live worthy of the gospel as citizens of heaven, and the reality of suffering for Christ. Reflection question: What does Paul mean by “standing firm in one spirit, in one accord”?

Join the Quiet Time Podcast as we read Philippians 1 and explore Paul's heartfelt message of thanks, partnership, and prayer written from prison. Reflect on how Paul's example encourages grateful prayer, spiritual growth, and love that leads to discernment and righteousness in Christ.

In this episode of the Quiet Time Podcast, we read Philippians 1:12–20 and reflect on how Paul’s imprisonment advanced the gospel. Some proclaimed Christ from envy while others from goodwill, yet Paul rejoices that Christ is being proclaimed and trusts God’s work through prayer and the Spirit. Listen and consider where God’s attributes show up in this passage, how it brings comfort, and how you might feel peace in God’s love today.
