Stressed out? Anxious? Overwhelmed? Good news—you’re not alone! No one ever said life was going to be easy.

He is greater than anything you are going through . . . so don’t give up on God. After all, He’s never given up on you.

She also jumps into the text, sharing truths from the first eleven verses. Session 2: (39:50)--One of the most familiar verses in Philippians is Paul's declaration in 1:21 - "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." In Session 2, Karen takes us deep into that verse and the verses surrounding as she unpacks Philippians 1:20-30. Session 3: (35:02)--In Session 3, Karen covers all of Philippians 2.

Session 7: (11:22)--Karen gives a closing challenging by sharing the story of Anthony, whose life transformation reflects the truths we've discovered in Philippians.
