Philippians 1:12-30Louis Tamburro What in your life are you living and dying for? Jesus is our eternal God who came to die for our sins on the cross, and he rose again on the 3rd day to prove he's eternal and so is the joy he offers us. We'll always have access to joy in daily life, when we put our faith in him and live for him above anything else in life. Paul says to live is Christ, and to die is gain, and that view of life allowed him to face any situation in life.

Phil 1:15-3015 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and God's provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[a] 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.Life Worthy of the Gospel27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit,[b] striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

#118 Finding Joy in Suffering with Linda Hardesty

I had the privilege of interviewing my dear friend Linda Hardesty, a woman of incredible strength and faith. Over the 25 years of our friendship, I've seen Linda endure tremendous heartbreak while always finding a way to maintain joy and gratitude. Linda's story is one of resilience and unwavering faith, even in the face of unimaginable loss. When her daughter Brooke was tragically killed, Linda's faith was her anchor. She recalled how, despite the heartache, she forgave Brooke's killer the very night it happened, believing that this act of forgiveness allowed God to pour graces over her and help her support her devastated husband. Linda's journey with faith began when she met her husband John, a Catholic. Despite not being raised in a religious household, Linda was drawn to the rituals and beauty of the Catholic Church. Over the years, her faith deepened, and when Brooke died, it was her faith that saw her through. Linda spoke of the peace she found in prayer, especially in turning to Mary, the mother of Jesus, for comfort. As she took on the role of mother and grandmother to Brooke's son, Trey, Linda's devotion to Mary grew stronger, providing her with the strength to fill the void left by Brooke's absence. Trey became a source of immense joy for Linda. She cherished their time together and found solace in being a mother figure to him. Trey would light up the room even from a young age and he was loved by so many. Again, Linda experienced another devastating loss when Trey died of an overdose. Linda's faith and the support of her family and community helped her walk through this loss. Her story is a testament to the power of faith, forgiveness, and the profound impact of love and community in overcoming life's darkest moments. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic speaker, Life Coach, Podcaster, Weekly Radio Show Host on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, and the founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. After 26 years of working in Catholic education, Jennie felt God calling her "to step out of the boat" to serve in a new way. In her new ministry, she equips and encourages middle-life women to encounter the love of the Father and to be transformed and healed by the power of the Holy Spirit so they can MAGNIFY Christ in their corner of the world.

When life throws you into the depths of despair, where do you find the strength to climb back out? Our latest Foxhole Symphony episode is a beacon for those caught in the tempest of hardship. We share the raw emotions that accompany life's most challenging trials—illness, addiction, loss—and the profound loneliness that can often ensue. But it's within this very vulnerability that we discover the irreplaceable value of brotherhood and authentic community. Through the pain, we emerge not alone but supported, our faith in humanity and the divine restored.Have you ever felt weighed down by the 'layer cake' of life's issues, uncertain of how to face another day? Our heartfelt discussion revolves around the power of community and faith, drawing parallels with the silversmith's artistic process—how through the heat and hammering, a purer, stronger self is revealed. As we examine scriptures like the Ephesians 6 and the Armor of God, we uncover the solace and strength that spiritual armor and community provide, empowering us to confront the darkness around us. This episode is a reminder that, even when the road is rocky and the shadows long, we are not walking it unaided.Concluding our exploration, we delve into the constancy of God's faithfulness and the stability it offers our lives, even when everything else seems to be shifting sands. We celebrate and give thanks for the Bible as a source of comfort and guidance, inspiring us to engage with its words for deeper understanding, connection to our creator and solace in tough times. We close on a note of hope, encouraging listeners to find peace in God's unchanging truths. As we share our collective journey of faith, we extend an invitation to join us in discovering the transformative impact of an authentic, supportive community.THRIVE MARRIAGE LAB BY OUR FRIENDS AT RESTORYThe Thrive Marriage Lab is the solution between books and counseling!
