Join Lisa and Laura for our four-week podcast series—Grace and Glory, based on Saint Paul’s letter to the Philippians.
Often called The Epistle of Joy, Saint Paul’s letter overflows with rejoicing, gratitude, and encouragement—amazing, when you consider that Paul wrote it from a prison cell. As women seeking joy but who often feel confined by our circumstances, what was Saint Paul’s secret? How do we rejoice in our suffering? How do we remain grateful when our situation is the opposite of what we were hoping for?
In this third episode of Grace and Glory, Lisa and Laura talk about wasting time, letting go of expectations, and the secret to knowing Christ.
