What if the key to experiencing more joy in your life isn't adding more to your plate, but letting go of something you've been holding onto? In this episode from our "To Live is Christ" series, we dive into one of the most practical and challenging passages in all of Scripture: Philippians 2:1-11.
Discover why the Apostle Paul considered disunity a greater threat to the early church than persecution, and how the same issue threatens our relationships, families, and churches today. We'll unpack the surprising connection between pride and insecurity, explore what true biblical humility really means, and examine the ultimate example of humility in Jesus Christ.
Key Scriptures:
- Philippians 2:1-11 (main passage)
- John 1:1-5
- Isaiah 6:1-5
- Psalm 95:6-7
- 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
Practical Application: This week, identify one relationship where pride (either obvious or in the form of insecurity) is creating distance or conflict. Practice placing that person's interests above your own in one specific way. Notice how worship and humility work together to transform your perspective.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
