Nov 17, 2024
Summary
Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany join this week’s Perspectives Pastors Podcast, continuing the series on A Life Worth Living, talking about Living Your Gratitude, based on Philippians 4:4-9. It’s a segment of Paul’s final letter to the church of Philippi, written while imprisoned and likely sentenced to death.

It’s a passage that emphasized that no matter what we face in life, we should face it with thankfulness to God.

The timing of this discussion couldn’t have been better. It’s the week after the 2024 presidential election, when communities around the US are full of conflict and anxiety about future leaders and retribution toward those who step up and speak out.
Join the two pastors as they walk through Paul’s words, line by line, to bring in the historical and social context of what he was facing and to make sense of what it means to us today.
