#349: "P E A C E" by Hillsong Young & Free

Send us Fan Mail

I had a conversation with a friend this week. She described herself as "full up." I get it. This year isn't cutting any of us any breaks, is it? It keeps pouring out the stress, and we're "full up." What we need is a peace that passes understanding. That's what Hillsong Young & Free sings about in their song "P E A C E," and it is promised to us in Scripture.

 

Join me as we explore what it takes to secure the peace we so desperately desire.

In this episode, I discuss:

• Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - our Bible Interaction Tool Exercises this week are:
  • Read in context
  • Repetition
  • Read in several translations
  • Read an overview of the book you are studying
  • Journal your dialogue with God
  • Make a list
• The 30 Day Music Challenge - ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE HERE
• Understanding the anxiety, I address in this episode is circumstantial, not clinical
• Why the song inspired me to study Philippians - Philippians 4:6-7
• Making it your habit to read the epistles all the way through
• My favorite resource for overviews of each book of the Bible along with advice on how to read each book - "How to Read the Bible Book by Book" by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart - Amazon link
• Highlighting the emphases of the letter to Philippians so as not to study a smaller section ignoring the whole
• Identifying areas of anxiety in your own life
• Discovering potential sources of anxiety for the Philippians
• Specific instructions that lead to peace - Philippians 4:4-7
  • Rejoice
  • Pray
• Refocusing our minds during time
