Series Description — “Helpless Not Hopeless”
When life feels like it’s falling apart, hope can seem out of reach. In Helpless Not Hopeless, Phil Strong explores what it really means to hold faith in the middle of struggle. Each episode brings together Scripture, honest reflection, and real-life stories that prove God’s presence is nearest when life feels hardest. You’ll be reminded that even when you feel powerless, you’re never without purpose — and never beyond His reach.
EPISODE 2 — The Strength of Surrender
Key Verse: 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
We live in a world that celebrates strength, but heaven celebrates surrender. In this message, Phil shares how laying down the need to be strong is often the moment when God’s grace shows up most powerfully. Through Paul’s story of the “thorn” and Phil’s own moments of weakness, you’ll see that helplessness isn’t failure — it’s the soil where grace grows.
