Did you enjoy treasure hunts as a child? I certainly did. Which, perhaps, explains why I consider Bible study to be so captivating: it is an unending exploration of a spectacular treasure mine filled with the most breath-taking gems ever discovered. Join me in this introductory episode, as I explain why I am embarking on this journey, and why I'm so excited to to share it with you. Special Note: The music, "Most Holy Place," was graciously crafted by Doug Beiden. Listen to more of Doug's beautiful work at https://www.beidenmusic.com/music. <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Episode #1:  Two 'No's and a Go

Seek joy and you won't find it. Seek Jesus and you'll be delighted to find that joy comes along for the ride.Paul's letter to the Philippian church is&nbsp;one of the most extraordinary documents in the history of literature. This ancient epistle is filled with breath-taking treasures and gems that are just waiting to be revealed to those hungry enough to search for them. Allow me to serve as your trail guide, and together we will dig deeply into every nook and cranny of this phenomenal book.The Project Philippians podcast is an audio commentary, a devotional guidebook, and a spiritual running coach.My goal is to come alongside you and to take you verse by verse through this remarkable treasure trove. I aim, not so much to be a teacher, as to be an encourager -- a spiritual motivator -- coaxing you into deeper love for God and for His Word. My ultimate objective for this podcast is that it might be a "Master Class" on the book of Philippians: not so that we will master the book, but that it will master us. Hosted on Acast.
