Comparing
SPOTIFY DESCRIPTION Comparison is not just a bad habit. It is a confidence problem. In Philippians 3:4-7, Paul lists seven things that made him look impressive and then moves every one of them into the loss column. We talk about why we compare, what it costs us, and the only comparison that gives you real confidence. Free study guide for this episode:…
GODFIDENCE
Alex separated his AC joint racing the guys after church, and suddenly everything he took for granted with two working arms was gone. That’s the whole point of Philippians 3:1-3. Paul is writing to a church being pressured by Judaizers, people telling Gentile believers they had to become Jewish before they could become Christian. Paul calls it what it is: dogs, evildoers, mutilators of the flesh.…
De-influenced
Most of our stress comes from people online telling us what to be, what to wear, what to buy, and where to go. Jesus frees us from all of that. In this episode of the Stress Less series through Philippians, Alex and Lokelani look at Epaphroditus, a man named after a pagan god who became one of Paul’s most trusted brothers in the ministry. Paul gives him five titles: brother, fellow worker, fellow…
Timothy
In Philippians 2:19-24, Paul couldn’t find anyone like Timothy to send to the Philippians. Why? Because Timothy stopped seeking his own interests and started seeking Christ’s kingdom instead.

Unearned
You can't earn your salvation. So why does so much of Christian culture make you feel like you have to?In this episode of the Stress Less series, we look at Philippians 2:12-13, one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible. "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling" has been used to load young Christians with anxiety and the constant question, "Is God disappointed in me today?" But…
unseen
We are stressed because we are stuck thinking about ourselves. In Philippians 2:5-11, Jesus did not grasp His glory. He emptied Himself, served, and humbled Himself to the cross. Because we were never forgotten by God, we are free to forget ourselves. This is the freedom of self-forgetfulness, not something we achieve, but something we already have in Christ. study guide:…

Striving Together
Faith was never meant to be a solo sport. In this week's Stress Less episode, Pastor Alex unpacks Philippians 1:27-30 and the call to strive together.
