Joy in Adversity | Coffee Break Bible Podcast Episode 3
In this episode of Coffee Break Bible, we explore Philippians 1:12-26, where Paul challenges us to see trials not as setbacks, but as opportunities to magnify Christ and advance the gospel. Writing from prison, Paul reflects on how his chains emboldened others to preach, how he found joy even when others had mixed motives, and how he lived with the profound mindset that “to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
- How Paul’s imprisonment became a platform for the gospel’s growth.
- Why Paul rejoiced despite the flawed motives of some preachers.
- The transformative perspective behind “to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, seeking inspiration to lead, or simply wanting to grow deeper in your faith, this episode will encourage you to view adversity through a new lens.
