    Being Calm in Christ

    Today we’re discussing what living an appropriate Christian life looks like and how we can be calmly happy in Christ without worry. There is an appropriate way to live as God's children. When we are not calm in our hearts, we are tempted to live according to what we think is right or what feels right. This leads to stress because inappropriate living brings consequences.  Follow Alex on IG: Follow Alex on IG: https://www.instagram.com/alexanderdionwilson/ Follow us on IG: Follow Alex on IG: https://www.instagram.com/amenpodcast/ amenpodcast.com/donate

    Being Calm in Christ

    Stand

    A hurricane is heading toward Kauai, the wind is literally blowing through our garage as we record, and Paul's words have never felt more real: stand firm in the Lord. In this episode of Amen Podcast, we walk through Philippians 4:1-3 and talk about what it actually looks like to stand on business when the world is shaking beneath your feet. Paul writes to a church where two women are at odds, and he reminds them (and us) that people are never the real problem. It's spiritual. And the answer isn't trying harder. It's remembering that your name is written in the Book of Life, permanently. We also talk about a wild Matt Damon story, why you never have to say "do you know who I am?", what Revelation 3:5 really means about your name being blotted out, and how eternal security frees you from people pleasing. In After the Amen, Lokelani opens up about standing firm in prioritizing family, and we ask you: where do you need to persist? Keep Kauai in your prayers as Hurricane Nola approaches. We love you guys.

    walk

    Walking with God when you feel nothing. There's a German word, Fernweh, that means far-sickness. Homesickness is longing for a place you came from. Fernweh is aching for a place you have never been. Every person alive has it. The question is what you do with it.In Philippians 3:15-21, Paul writes in tears about people who felt that longing and settled for earth instead of heaven. He also tells us how to keep walking: look up toward Christ, not down at your sin, and find real people who walk the pattern. Alex and Lokelani walk through what walking with God actually is, why so many people quit, and how to keep going. Then in After the Amen, they answer the question: who are you imitating? study guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V3GVs8LULkDZXOi9BXlZIzrXlBEl4-fD/view?usp=share_linkDonate: https://amenpodcast.com/donateFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amenpodcast/Subscribe to Email List: https://amenpodcast.com/subscribeAmen Podcast: https://youtube.com/amenpodcastAmen Podcast (spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/55g6BqsNLWNPWz7TuQ1QBKAmen Podcast (apple): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/amen-podcast/id1437840199

    determined

    In this episode we look at one verse, Philippians 3:14, and ask what Paul was actually hunting down from a prison cell while still full of joy. The Greek word for "press on" means to hunt. Saul hunted Christians. Then Christ hunted him. Everything changed. Paul spent the rest of his life chasing the one thing that had already chased him down. You don't press on so God will accept you. You press on because He already has. Like a bride preparing for a wedding day to a groom she already belongs to. Like Mary at His feet. Like John leaning on His chest. The goal isn't heaven. The goal isn't the crown. The goal is Christ. Hunt down heaven with a full heart. After the Amen: How does Christ's pursuit of you make you stress less?

    forget it

    What do you need to forget? In Philippians 3:13, Paul writes from house arrest and says he is “forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.” But no healthy human can actually erase their past. So what does the Bible mean by forget? In this episode of the Stress Less series, Alex and Lokelani walk through Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers in Genesis 45, the cost of discipleship in Luke 9:62, Paul’s testimony in 1 Timothy 1:12-17, and God’s promise in Hebrews 10:17 to remember our sins no more. Biblical forgetting doesn’t mean amnesia. It means your past no longer rules you, and your sin no longer determines your standing with God. Plus 8 applications for walking free of what’s behind you, and an honest After the Amen conversation about shame, fear in relationships, and what four years of pastoring a house church has actually cost.

    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?
