Tackling disunity and anxiety – Philippians E5

The Rooted Podcast

How can we be unified as Christians? How do we find true peace? Are we intentional about what we consume?

Today we discuss Philippians 4.1–9. We explore Paul's call for unity within the church and the importance of focusing on Christ and our citizenship in heaven. We also discuss Paul's advice on not being anxious and the peace that comes from presenting our requests to God. We finish by looking at the need to fill our minds with the right things and how what we consume shapes us.
