Podcast appearances and mentions of christian contentment

In the first episode of this series, Justin Miller helped us understand what Christian contentment is and why it differs from both complacency and stoicism. But if contentment is not something we naturally possess, how do we learn it? In this episode, Dr. John Snyder and Justin Miller explore Paul's statement in Philippians 4:11, “I have learned to be content.” Together they consider how God uses trials, hardships, disappointments, and even unanswered prayers to teach His people that Christ is sufficient. Drawing from Scripture, the Puritans, and the lives of believers who have walked this path before us, they discuss why contentment is learned in the school of providence. They also examine the truths that fuel Christian contentment: God's sovereignty, God's goodness, His commitment to work all things for the good of His people, and His wise use of affliction to wean us from the world and teach us to treasure Christ above all else.

For years, believers have turned to Jeremiah Burroughs' classic work The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment to learn what it means to rest in God's wise and fatherly providence. In this new series, Dr. John Snyder is joined by Pastor Justin Miller to discuss his forthcoming book, A Life of Joy: Learning Christian Contentment, which seeks to bring these timeless truths to a new generation of Christians. In this first episode, Justin explains how his own struggles in ministry led him to study the biblical doctrine of contentment more deeply. Together, he and Dr. Snyder explore the difference between true Christian contentment and its counterfeits. Christian contentment is not complacency, spiritual laziness, or stoic resignation to circumstances. Rather, it is learning to receive every providence from the hand of a wise and loving Father, finding our joy not in changing circumstances but in Christ himself. Whether you are facing trials, disappointments, unanswered questions, or simply desire a deeper joy in Christ, this conversation provides a helpful foundation for understanding one of the most neglected and necessary graces in the Christian life.

Christian Contentment and the Provision of God Philippians 4:10-13

God’s Provision 10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me.

Season 6, Episode 15 | Pastor Chad welcomes Parker Smith to discuss 1 Timothy 6:11-16, charging the man of God to flee unrighteous cravings and controversies while pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness, fighting the good fight of faith, and keeping the commandment unstained until Christ's appearing, all in light of God's sovereign glory.The two books mentioned: The Things of Earth by Joe RigneyThe Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs

Maybe your circumstances didn’t turn out the way you hoped.Maybe you’re carrying disappointment, waiting on something, or wondering why contentment feels just out of reach. If you’ve ever felt that tension, this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcast is for you. I had the joy of sitting down with Joanna Kimbrel to talk about her new devotional, You Are Satisfied, and our conversation was both honest and hope-filled. Joanna shares from her own story—walking through chronic illness, unmet expectations, and seasons that didn’t look anything like she planned—and how God gently revealed where she had been looking for satisfaction outside of Him. Together, we talk about:• Why our longings aren’t wrong—but where we take them matters• How to recognize when we’re placing our hope in the wrong things• The tension between enjoying God’s gifts and depending on them• What it really looks like to trust God when life feels disappointing Friend, if your heart feels restless today, you’re not alone—and you’re not without hope. Your longing isn’t something to ignore…it’s an invitation to come closer to the only One who can truly satisfy. As you listen, my prayer is that you would experience the deep, steady peace that only comes from being rooted in Christ—no matter what your circumstances look like.

The peace of God is not enough to a gracious heart except it may have the God of that peace. A carnal heart could be satisfied if he might but have outward peace, though it is not the pace of God; peace in the state, and his trading, would satisfy him. But mark how a godly heart goes beyond a carnal. All outward peace is not enough; I must have the peace of God. But suppose you have the peace of God. Will that not quiet you? No, I must have the God of peace; as the peace of God so the God of peace. That is, I must enjoy that God who gives me the peace; I must have the Cause as well as the effect.

Elder Emeritus Dick Hannula preaches about “The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment” from Philippians 4:10-13.

  Psalm 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.   God is at work…what is HIS purpose for YOUR life? Don't get caught in the comparison game of temporary things, seek the greater good of a bigger God who has designed you for His good works…and walk in them…meaning that you need to move at God's speed, not the hurried pace of this world to enjoy God's purposes being revealed and perfected in your life. Men, don't miss this - your eternal rewards are tied to your eternal investments into God's purposes for your life.   Resource Suggestions The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Tim Keller The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs Life Without Lack by Dallas Willard   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.  

We all want to experience contentment in life. But all too often, we experience contentment only when our circumstances are the way we want them to be. The apostle Paul was different. He was able to experience contentment in any situation. In this message, Pastor John explains how we can learn the secret of experiencing contentment in any situation as we examine the life of Paul in his letter to the Philippian church.

Este episodio cuenta la historia y el pulso espiritual de Jeremiah Burroughs (1600–1646): formado en Emmanuel, Cambridge, discípulo de Thomas Hooker, silenciado por el laudismo y afilado en el exilio de Róterdam antes de convertirse en la “estrella de la mañana de Stepney” en el Londres revolucionario. En la Asamblea de Westminster, Burroughs fue uno de los Five Dissenting Brethren: defendió iglesias congregacionales, pidió tolerancia en la Apologeticall Narration (1644) y sostuvo que la variedad de opiniones no rompe la unidad en el evangelio.  Releemos sus obras más influyentes —The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, Gospel Worship, A Treatise of Earthly-Mindedness e Irenicum— como un mapa de piedad experimental que equilibra ley y evangelio, doctrina y afectos, culto reverente y caridad práctica.  ¿Qué aprendemos hoy de su “disenso irénico”? Claves para cultivar contentamiento, humildad y libertad de conciencia sin relativismo; pautas para predicar con claridad y pastorear en tiempos polarizados. Un retrato del independiente moderado cuya voz sigue sonando sorprendentemente actual.

The Joy of Christian Contentment & the Misery of Loving Money

Maybe no other movement in church history has spoken with greater spiritual insight on suffering than the Puritans. In this message recorded at TGC25, Ligon Duncan mines Puritan and Scottish Presbyterian writers for rare jewels of theology we can apply not only in our personal suffering but also in our ministry to others.Recommended Resources:The Mystery of Providence by John FlavelThe Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah BurrowsAll Things for Good by Thomas WatsonThe Bruised Reed by Richard SibbesPrecious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by Thomas BrooksThe Crook in the Lot by Thomas BostonGrace in Winter by Faith Cook (based on Samuel Rutherford's letters) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeremiah Burroughs was a peace-loving Puritan. Without sacrificing the truth, he sought unity among those who professed it, and prayed, preached, and pleaded to that end. Indeed, Richard Baxter, who felt keenly the need for peace but struggled himself to promote it, once remarked that if all the Episcopalians had been like Archbishop [James] Ussher, all the Presbyterians like Stephen Marshall, and all the Independents like Jeremiah Burroughs, then the breaches of the church would soon have been healed.    Article read this week: – James Davison, 'The Irenic Jeremiah Burroughs', Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 559 (April 2010).    Further reading: Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment (paperback, 232 pages.)    This week's episode art features a detail from William Bell Scott (1811–1890), Bernard Gilpin making Peace among the Borders, takes down the Glove in Rothbury Church, circa 1570 (One of a series of eight oil paintings illustrating the history of the English Border).

Evening Service | Pastor Travis Greene

This week we have Dr. Stephen Yuille in the studio again. During his last visit, he told us about a reading challenge through George Swinnock's The Blessed and Boundless God. Today, Dr. Yuille and Dr. John Snyder have a broader discussion in mind. Because of his profession and experience, many people ask Dr. Yuille how they can read and benefit more from the Puritans. He sought to develop a concise, systematic, scalable answer to that question. Instead of trying to read as much of Puritan writings as possible, Dr. Yuille encourages us to approach these spiritual giants devotionally. Just read a few pages each day. Reformation Heritage Books Puritan Treasures for Today is a great place to start. These books have been edited and modernized to remove the language barrier so many find difficult to overcome. Dr. Yuille's approach is to take six books and read them across six months. The goal is not quantity of reading but quality. Read the Puritans as they intended their books to be read. Read them with your heart, not just your mind. Meditate on what you read that day. We believe, as Dr. Yuille does, this is wonderful food for your soul and your will benefit by this practice. Each of the books Dr. Yuille suggests starting with are listed below with links to where you can find them. Want a great introduction to the Puritans?

In this sermon, we see that God calls His people to guard against covetousness and find contentment in all that He offers us in Himself. Contentment helps free us from covetousness. Contentment comes from God’s promised presence . Contentment is experienced through God’s gracious help. Contentment is not based on our circumstances; it surpasses them. Contentment is not automatic; it’s learned. Contentment is not complacency or passivity.

In this podcast episode, Emma and Katie dive into what discontentment is, the dangers of it, and how to find contentment in the Lord!
