    One Thing

    What is your one thing? In this episode of the Stress Less series, Alex preaches Philippians 3:13 and Lokelani joins for the Q&A after the amen. Paul wasn’t scattered. He was a runner with his eyes on one finish line. Most of our stress doesn’t come from having too little. It comes from carrying things God never asked us to carry. We look at where “one thing” shows up in Scripture (Luke 10:42, Mark 10:21, John 9:25, Psalm 27:4), what Jesus’ one thing was, and how to find yours.

    Holy Dissatisfaction

    Paul had something better than Mamba mentality. In Philippians 3:12 he says he has not obtained it and he is not already perfect, but he presses on to make it his own, because Christ Jesus made him His own. Warren Wiersbe called this holy dissatisfaction. We are content in Christ, but never content with where we are in our walk with Him. Alex breaks down why we need it, why comparison quietly kills it, and how remembering where you were when Christ found you keeps you in the race. After the Amen question: Are you dependent on Christ, or have you grown complacent?

    Comparing

    SPOTIFY DESCRIPTION Comparison is not just a bad habit. It is a confidence problem. In Philippians 3:4-7, Paul lists seven things that made him look impressive and then moves every one of them into the loss column. We talk about why we compare, what it costs us, and the only comparison that gives you real confidence.

    GODFIDENCE

    Alex separated his AC joint racing the guys after church, and suddenly everything he took for granted with two working arms was gone. That’s the whole point of Philippians 3:1-3. Paul is writing to a church being pressured by Judaizers, people telling Gentile believers they had to become Jewish before they could become Christian. Paul calls it what it is: dogs, evildoers, mutilators of the flesh. In this episode we walk through why confidence in the flesh grieves God and isn’t safe for you, five problems with trusting what you can do, and three ways to actually rely on God instead. Plus the line that ties it all together: joy comes from reliance, not restraint. Alex and Lokelani also talk about how false teachers keep people locked in, why the “better version of yourself” message is not the gospel, and the very easy test for whether a Christian influencer is putting their confidence in the flesh or in Christ.

    De-influenced

    Most of our stress comes from people online telling us what to be, what to wear, what to buy, and where to go. Jesus frees us from all of that. In this episode of the Stress Less series through Philippians, Alex and Lokelani look at Epaphroditus, a man named after a pagan god who became one of Paul’s most trusted brothers in the ministry. Paul gives him five titles: brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, messenger, and minister. If the people influencing you don’t fit that list, they shouldn’t be influencing you. In this episode: * The 5 titles every godly influence in your life should have * Why you should look for influences in places of suffering, not prosperity * Why a screen pastor can never replace a physical one * No, there is no “spirit of tardiness” * How to be de-influenced: honor godly people, look at their life, think for yourself, and watch out for the vain After the Amen question: How do you need Christ to influence you?

    Timothy

    In Philippians 2:19-24, Paul couldn’t find anyone like Timothy to send to the Philippians. Why? Because Timothy stopped seeking his own interests and started seeking Christ’s kingdom instead. In this message, we break down what made Timothy different and how you can become the kind of person God can use in your relationships, church, and calling. We also unpack: - Why you don’t jump into leadership too soon - The cost of following Christ (and losing friends because of it) - How to trust God when you don’t have the full picture - Why who you marry can disqualify you from ministry Sermon from Amen Podcast’s “Stress Less” Philippians series.

    Being a child of God is a privilege — and a responsibility. In Philippians 2:14-15, Paul says we're called to live without complaining, without arguing, without that dark inner dialogue — so we shine like stars in a crooked generation. In this episode, we talk about what it means to hold out the gospel unashamed, give everything like Jesus did, and stop holding back. Donate: amenpodcast.com/donate This is a public episode.
