About this episode

Pastor Alex discusses the importance of striving together in faith and community, based on Philippians 1:27-30.

Faith was never meant to be a solo sport. In this week's Stress Less episode, Pastor Alex unpacks Philippians 1:27-30 and the call to strive together. Paul tells the Philippians to push the gospel down the field as a team—standing firm, unafraid of opponents, and leaning on each other in seasons of hardship.
