Description
From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about the the secret to contentment.
Contentment isn't pretending everything is fine — it's something you learn, and something God actually helps you carry. Jen digs into Paul's words in Philippians 4 and walks through what it looks like to bring your real needs and real hunger to God, and let His strength be enough. If you've been wondering how to hear from God in a season of lack or longing, this conversation is a gentle place to start.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
Philippians 4:11–13
"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
Question
God, I wanna bring to you what I'm going through. What does it look like for me to have contentment empowered by your strength even here?
