Chip Ingram: Choosing Joy When Life is Hard
The Christian Habits Podcast
info_outlineToday is the day! My Philippians Bible study from the Closer to God Bible Studies series is now available. Philippians is one of my favorite New Testament books of the Bible. The beauty of it is that Paul is writing from prison and teaching Christians wonderful lessons such as how to find contentment in any circumstance, always putting God first, and making our lives about Him. This is a book to study in any season of life! We flip things around today on the Christian Habits Podcast (links below), and instead of interviewing someone else, I am the one being interviewed about my new book.
What We Discussed on the Podcast
- Why I wrote a study over a book of the Bible rather than a specific topic
- How this series was birthed to solve a problem in my own life
- The significance of the name of the series
- How this study is different than many others
- Who this book is geared towards and different ways to approach the study
- How my passion to see the church mature and become more Christ-like continues to drive me to write and teach others
