Join Lisa and Laura for this final episode of 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 final episode of Grace and Glory, Lisa and Laura talk about conflict in ministry, living like Christ, and what it means to be content in all things.
Open your Heart to our key Scripture.

NASB: to live in harmony with the Lord.
NLT: settle your disagreement.

Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.
Are you experiencing conflict in a relationship or ministry? How can Saint Paul’s encouragement help you come to a place of peace and harmony?
Saint Paul had the integrity to present himself as an example of the way to follow Christ. He really could say, “Follow me as I follow Jesus.” Can you say this? If not, looking at Philippians 4 verses 8-9, which precepts of morality do you need to work on?
What keeps you from being content in all circumstances? Take all your unmet longings, unfulfilled desires, and unmet dreams and bring them to God.
