Do you ever feel like your life is a constant chase for contentment? We've got some secrets to share. In our latest episode, we unravel the mystery that Apostle Paul refers to in Philippians 4:11. He speaks of a steadfastness and serenity that isn't dictated by your circumstances. The key isn't absconding ambition or goals, but finding satisfaction even when those goals aren't met. Astonishingly, the secret lies in a genuine bond with Jesus Christ. 


We also delve into the fascinating relationship between contentment and generosity. As we traverse through Philippians 4, we reveal how a true bond with Jesus provides us with a foundation of security and stability, even amidst adversity. This relationship encourages us to give, sprouting not just growth in our own lives, but in the lives of those around us too. We also discuss the story of Johnny Manziel, examining how his fame and wealth didn't bring him the contentment he yearned for. 


Ever wondered why Paul considers contentment a secret? We think we've got the answer. The world often equates contentment with material success. But we have found that contentment is rarely found in external sources. Interestingly, Ernest Becker, a secular guide, arrived at the same conclusion. So, if you're ready to discover this secret and experience the contentment that comes with a relationship with Christ - join us in this profound discussion.
