📖 Key Scriptures:
Philippians 2:1-18 | Micah 6:8 | Isaiah 45:23 | Hebrews 2:8

Philippians: Joyful & Steady is a 6-session study verse-by-verse through this impactful epistle. Sessions 1 & 2 will give you the basics of studying the Bible and the overview of Philippians. Sessions 3-6 will cover one chapter at a time. I'm inviting you on a discipleship journey into a life that is Christ-centered and gospel-fueled: “I want to be everything about the gospel. For me to live is Christ and to die is gain… that’s not just Paul’s story. It’s ours, too.” My heart is for you to be good Bible students not for the sake of knowledge alone, but to know Christ deeply and walk in gospel steadiness.

In this series I introduce theological concepts like hermeneutics, systematic theology, and biblical theology to equip you to rightly handle God’s Word. Listen with the prayer to become confident, Spirit-led students of Scripture who can study and apply the Word on your own. You'll learn the DWELL method (Discover, Wonder, Examine, Link, Live) for a memorable and accessible structure for studying the Bible deeply training you to be trainers.
