#473 - Kyle Thompson // God Politics: Speak Truth to Power

#468 - Joby Martin // It’s Not About You
We open Philippians 2 and get painfully honest about what happens when we keep making life about ourselves instead of the interests of Jesus Christ.

We open Philippians 2 and zoom in on why Paul trusts Timothy with real people and real problems. We challenge ourselves to stop treating discipleship like information transfer and start building the kind of relationship that forms courage, character, and conviction. • reading Philippians 2:17-20 ...
