This is your day to shine. Paul writes to the Philippians, “Let your gentleness be evident to all.” It's a quality so central to the heart of Jesus that he chose it as the word to describe himself: “I am gentle and humble in heart.” Paul would have known how radical that sounded. He'd grown up admiring zeal, the kind that would do anything or go to any length to defend God's honor. For Paul, zeal was something you did with a knife. But on the road to Damascus, everything changed. God redefined zeal for Paul. He encountered a God who doesn't strike down enemies but stretches out his hands for them. For Jesus, zeal was something he did on a cross. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

The basic message of the Bible from the beginning is the offer of a life with God. This was true in the garden with Adam and Eve, it was true with Abraham, it was true with Moses, with Ruth, with Joseph, with Jacob, and on and on. And it doesn't stop there.

DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?! TEXT US!What does success in the woods really mean? In this episode, Reese Richards, Scott Hinnant and Eric VanFossen sit down at the campfire in West Point Mississippi to share personal stories from the hunt—those quiet mornings, missed shots, and moments that test your patience and heart. They open up about how their definition of success has changed over time, from chasing trophies to cherishing time with God and family in His creation. Through laughter, lessons, and very honest reflection, they explore how faith and the outdoors intertwine, revealing that true success isn't found in the harvest but in the heart.Support the showPRAISE GOD! ✝︎ Seek And Find Tv on YouTube Seek And Find Tv on Carbon Tv Sponsors: Coffman Outdoors: E Bikes Bearded Outdoors USA: Beard Care Products NEW "In The Cabin" scent out now!

In today's video, we're joined by Pastor Steve Clifford to talk about this concept and how it's played out in his own life. Steve talks about how “whatever happens” has been an anchoring concept for him as he's walked through loss and transition. He works not to manufacture shining, but to simply live with confidence that God is shaping his life. Operating this way is a daily choice to trust that God is present. Together, we can do the same by acknowledging our life's goodness isn't determined by our circumstances… but by the One we serve. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

In today's devo, John talks about Jerry Hawthorne, a beloved teacher and mentor, and how he described Paul's teaching on joy as more than a mood; it is a worldview. True joy is not about forcing a smile or pretending everything is fine. It is a peace-filled posture toward life that accepts both hardship and blessing with trust in God's presence. This joy stands as “defiant nevertheless,” an attitude that refuses to let sorrow, fear, or loss have the final word.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

The way of reconciliation is one Jesus exemplified in his life and love. In today's devo, John talks about a story of feuding families in Ireland who literally “chanced their arm” through a cathedral door as a picture of the courage it takes to risk vulnerability for the sake of peace. Reconciliation is not about proving who is right or wrong, it's about remembering the shared humanity of the other person and choosing love over pride.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

In today's devo John talks about how this shift in perception is at the core of the Good Samaritan story. Two religious leaders saw a problem when they looked at a man beaten by robbers, but the Samaritan saw a person in need. He thought differently, felt compassion, and acted with mercy. Today, we are invited to “put on new glasses,” not artificial intelligence but Heavenly intelligence. By asking God to help us see others as He does, we can shine as lights in a world that desperately needs His love.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

From mime school to makeup legend, Jeanine Lobell's story is anything but ordinary. The Stila and Neen founder shares the winding path that took her from Sweden to LA—with stops in London, Paris, and even circus aspirations along the way. She recalls an early career that spanned John Waters' Hairspray, music videos with Naomi Campbell and Michael Jackson, and working with Mariah Carey, and reflects on how those experiences shaped Stila's playful identity. Jeanine also opens up about selling Stila to Estée Lauder, why she cautions founders about acquisitions, and how she feels about the brand today. Finally, she introduces Neen, her fresh, intentional approach to beauty, and how she wants people to feel when they play with it.Shop this episode Watch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

The way of Jesus is the way of service. Chasing status is a hollow pursuit that Jesus turned on it's head. Though equal with God, Jesus took on the form of a servant (Philippians 2). He invites us to follow this same course of service, shining not by demanding to be seen but by giving ourselves away in love. To “shine like stars” is not about fame, wealth, or applause; it is about reflecting the humble, sacrificial light of Christ in our daily lives.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Today is our day to shine, and where better to shine than the world of politics? John is joined in today's video by Michael Wear. He's the CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life and author of The Spirit of Our Politics. In this conversation, Michael reminds us that politics isn't just a stage where others act and we observe; in a democracy, we are participants. When people of faith treat politics like a place where ‘shining' doesn't apply, Michael suggests, we leave behind an opening for darkness that quickly fills the space. The thing about hate and contempt is that the moment we think we're using them, they're using us.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

What does the Bible actually say about the Antichrist, Armageddon, and the end times? In this episode, John Ortberg clears away the clutter of speculation—like presidential “666” theories, modern rapture charts, or end-times guessing games—and returns us to the words of Scripture itself. Drawing from 1 John, Revelation, and the prophets, John shows how terms like “Antichrist” and “tribulation” were meant for real people facing real suffering, not just future predictions. Along the way, you'll hear insights from Bruce Metzger's Breaking the Code and Dallas Willard's vision of our eternal destiny—not endless bureaucracy, but creative life with Christ. Instead of fear, we're invited into faithfulness, hope, and love, living today as people of God's kingdom while looking forward to the day when all is made new.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

John addresses a surge of rapture predictions (Sept 23rd) and reminds us the word “rapture” never appears in the Bible. He traces failed predictions from Millerites in 1844 to Harold Camping in 2011, showing how speculation damages faith. Revelation, he explains, was not written as a secret code for our timeline but as pastoral encouragement for persecuted believers. Babylon symbolized Rome, 666 symbolized unfaithfulness, and the central message is endurance and hope: God is redeeming creation, not abandoning it. The call is not to predict dates but to trust Christ and live faithfully in anxious times.00:00 — Did The Predicted Rapture On September 23 Really Happen?00:27 — Why Do People Keep Predicting The End Of The World?01:11 — What Should Christians Believe About The Rapture?03:01 — What Does 1 Thessalonians 4 Really Teach About The End Times?06:25 — How Should Christians Read The Book Of Revelation?09:34 — What Do Babylon And 666 Actually Mean In Revelation?11:54 — What Are The Main Christian Views On The Millennium?14:05 — What Does The Mark of the Beast Really Mean?16:00 — How Revelation Predicted Rome's Fall And Babylon's Ongoing Power20:49 — What Romans 8 Teaches About Creation, Hope, And RedemptionBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Paul says to shine, we need joy… so joy is what we study today. Paul wrote to the Philippians from the grimmest of circumstances - in jail, facing death, brutally beaten, and yet his letter was filled with calls to rejoice. How could that be? Paul seems to have figured out the secret that joy isn't rooted in success or control. It's grounded in something much deeper: that Christ has risen and death itself has been defeated.00:00 — What do I actually know to be true?00:28 — Why science can't tell you what matters most01:16 — Paul's command in Philippians 3:16 explained01:38 — Reflecting honestly: what do I know?02:06 — Truth #1: It is good to be alive03:17 — Why life is a gift worth celebrating05:25 — Gratitude: letting “good to be alive” shape your day06:10 — Truth #2: I ought to pursue the good07:15 — Truth #3: Why despair is always wrong08:34 — Truth #4: I need help (12 steps and prayer)09:26 — Truth #5: People are immensely valuable10:32 — Paul's invitation: live up to what you already knowBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Questions? Comments? Text Us!Five years. 250 episodes. Countless stories of faith, struggle, and discovery.This milestone episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast is a deep reflection on what it means to grow spiritually through suffering, to find joy again, and to experience divine love as a personal reality.In this special episode, Scott, Jerry, Abigail, Laura, and Mandi come together to look back on the last five years and explore how this project has transformed each of them.You'll hear moments of vulnerability, laughter, and insight as we talk about:Suffering and the Law of Growth – Jerry shares God's teaching that suffering is not meaningless but the very path by which we grow. He describes the moment he realized that God suffers with us — that when we feel pain, God says “ouch” too.A God Who Feels With Us – Scott reflects on his acting career and the way embodying pain on stage helped him understand the personal God who is fully present in our lives.Breaking Free From Spiritual Abuse – Mandi opens up about growing up in a controlling family, being told belief in God was foolish, and finally finding the courage to pray. Her first prayer was a desperate request for a job with meaning — and it was answered, leading her to this project.Love That Disrupts and Heals – Abigail tells the story of falling in love with Jerry, trying to remain detached, and eventually surrendering to a love that upended her carefully ordered life — and changed it forever.Wisdom Across Generations – Laura reflects on how her role has evolved over the years and how focusing on her own spiritual growth allows her to comfort and encourage others. Together, the team discusses how this project invites listeners into the New Axial Age — a time when wisdom from all spiritual traditions is brought together to illuminate a richer, more connected path forward.Start at the Beginning: Listen to Episode 1 to hear the complete dramatic adaptation of God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher.Read the Book: Get your copy at Amazon or godanautobiography.com.Share Your Story: Email us at questions@godanautobiography.com — we'd love to hear your spiritual story and may feature it on a future episode.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our MiShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Paul tells the Philippians: “Only let us live up to what we have already attained.” John takes this personally and asks: “What do I actually know to be true?” He names five convictions — life is good, I ought to pursue the good, despair is wrong, I need help, and people are immensely valuable. These aren't abstract doctrines but lived truths that can guide each moment. To shine is to be activated by what you know, not paralyzed by what you don't.00:00 — What do I actually know to be true?00:28 — Why science can't tell you what matters most01:16 — Paul's command in Philippians 3:16 explained01:38 — Reflecting honestly: what do I know?02:06 — Truth #1: It is good to be alive03:17 — Why life is a gift worth celebrating05:25 — Gratitude: letting “good to be alive” shape your day06:10 — Truth #2: I ought to pursue the good07:15 — Truth #3: Why despair is always wrong08:34 — Truth #4: I need help (12 steps and prayer)09:26 — Truth #5: People are immensely valuable10:32 — Paul's invitation: live up to what you already knowBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Today, we're talking about the rule of forgetfulness. Paul had a few words to say on the matter. In Philippians 3, he says he presses on, “forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.” That's spiritual forgetting. Paul wasn't a proponent of amnesia or repression or wishful thinking, but rather a disciplined letting go that makes room for healing and growth. That's what we can choose to take part in, too. 00:00 — What is the art of spiritual forgetting?00:35 — Why forgetting is one of the mind's great successes01:24 — What Paul says about forgetting in Philippians 302:12 — Why spiritual life is about progress, not perfection03:40 — What is the “one thing” life is about?05:22 — The three benefits of forgetting: healing, clarity, creativity06:54 — Forgetting wrongs and achievements that paralyze us07:24 — The Ted Lasso goldfish lesson on memory08:39 — Why forgetting is not repression or denial09:57 — How to practice biblical forgetting by pressing on10:30 — Miroslav Volf: why forgetting is “not coming to mind”11:59 — Punch ignore: how to stop being tormented by the past12:47 — What guilt or hurt do you need to release today?Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

In Philippians the word “Knowing” takes on a new meaning. Paul uses the word to distinguish the collection of facts from intimate understanding. What Paul calls “knowing Christ” isn't merely theology to be recited; it's participation: sharing in his life, teachings, sufferings, and resurrection. When we put the gleam of résumé-building accomplishments beside the surpassing worth of this present, personal relationship with Jesus, the choice becomes clear: let go of what inflates pride so we can be shaped by his life.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Today's reflection comes out of a rich conversation with friends (John, Jim, Alyssa, and Kevin) where they interact honestly with Paul's words in Philippians 3. Paul once carried a “resume” filled with achievements, education, and status. But after meeting Jesus, he called all those accomplishments *scubala (*garbage) compared to knowing Christ. That shift was not about denying his abilities but recognizing they could never define his worth or bring him fulfillment.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this wide-ranging conversation, Jerry and Abigail pick up where last week's episode left off, turning from the idea of swadharma — one's unique calling — to how that calling actually plays out in a real life.Jerry reflects on the Bhagavad Gita's teaching that it is better to follow your own duty, even imperfectly, than to live someone else's well. Abigail shares what it feels like when a fight “has her name on it,” telling the story of the battle to save Brooklyn College's core curriculum and how that reluctant fight brought Jerry into her life.They discuss the courage it takes to give up security for meaning, Jerry's choice to twice walk away from tenure, and the role prayer plays in guiding his decisions. Abigail recalls a formative past-life memory of her death in 1930s Germany and how it shaped her lifelong commitment to confronting evil, writing about the nature of evil, and standing up against antisemitism.The conversation turns to the “summons of love,” romance as co-constitutive with divine calling, and the serious work of keeping the romantic quest alive over a lifetime. Abigail explores the challenges of being a woman philosopher, the tension between femininity and academic culture, the dangers of free love, and the need for modesty and discernment.Together they hold love, moral courage, and spiritual purpose in dialogue, seeking a way to live fully in history — with God as partner.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your story: questions@godandautobiography.comShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

We all carry an invisible resume, trying to prove our worth through titles, accomplishments, or image. Paul names his old resume — circumcision, tribe of Benjamin, Pharisee, zeal — then calls it all loss compared to Christ. John shares his own “impressive-itis” and failures, then draws from Henri Nouwen and John Wesley's line “I submitted to be more vile” to show the new resume: weakness, humility, and love. To shine is to let go of self-promotion and live from God's love.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Shining for Jesus is like burning, it gives off light but not without pain. Paul tells the Philippians that Epaphroditus (his brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier) nearly lost his life serving the cause of Christ. This was not a story of calm detachment or stoic control. Instead, Paul openly describes homesickness, distress, grief, and anxiety. Real love is messy, and real relationships are risky. Yet, it is in that risk, not in protecting ourselves, that we understand more about God.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Life is deep, complex, and beautiful. In many ways life has a way of giving us more depth, complexity and beauty if we let it. But it's important to remember that becoming deep is not about pretending to be better or wiser than we are. Paul wrote about this to the Philippians, where he reminded them that Jesus showed the way—humbling himself, becoming a servant, and pouring himself out for others. To follow Jesus means turning from shallow living, where vanity and ego dominate, toward a life that reflects self-giving love.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Safe places and safe people are a good thing… but there's something even better. John brings today's teaching from Ireland, and fittingly so, our learnings are inspired by Saint Patrick. As a teenager, Patrick was kidnapped, enslaved, and suffered greatly. In the middle of his suffering, though, he discovered God's presence. Patrick wrote that he would pray constantly during the daylight hours. He described that sometimes in a day, he would say as many as a hundred prayers, and at night nearly as many again. His faith continually grew.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

One of the most famously quoted verses in the Bible comes from Paul: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It's not only often quoted, it's arguably even more commonly misunderstood. Today, Laura Ortberg Turner joins us with John to unpack what Paul truly meant with these words.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Paul calls the Philippians to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling,” for God is already at work within them. The life that shines is not grumbling or self-promoting but open to God's Spirit. John contrasts grumbling vs. groaning, shows how Moses' radiant face came from being with God, and ends with the blessing: “The Lord make His face shine upon you.” To shine is to live from God's shining face turned toward us.00:00 — What does it mean to shine with inner light?00:32 — Why some people radiate joy and gratitude01:45 — How Philippians 2 explains shining02:17 — What does “work out your salvation” mean?03:00 — Is spiritual life a motorboat, raft, or sailboat?04:03 — What does “fear and trembling” really mean?05:13 — Do everything without grumbling06:14 — What's the difference between grumbling and groaning?07:25 — Why groaning invites God but grumbling shuts Him out08:18 — Shine like stars in a dark world09:12 — How Moses' face shone after meeting God11:15 — What it means that God's face shines on you13:02 — Today is your day to shineBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Philippians 2 is called the “hinge of history.” Jesus, though in very nature God, humbled Himself to death on a cross. Therefore God exalted Him, giving Him the name above every name. John calls this the greatest strategy for life: double down on the cross. True greatness and true life flow from self-giving love, and the simple but ultimate confession: Jesus Christ is Lord.00:00 — What is the greatest strategy for life?00:22 — What is the most important phrase Christians can say?01:16 — Philippians 2: the oldest words about Jesus01:57 — Jesus humbled Himself to death on a cross02:31 — Why “as a consequence, therefore” matters03:17 — The hinge of history explained04:03 — Why humility always leads to exaltation05:06 — What does it mean to double down on the cross?06:33 — What name is above every name?07:19 — Why “Jesus Christ is Lord” seemed ludicrous then08:19 — Why Jesus, not Caesar, defines history09:25 — How calendars themselves point to Christ10:23 — Why love, not power, defines reality11:05 — What it means to double down in daily life11:55 — How to shine by serving othersBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team
