Description
Criticism and rivalry often feel overwhelming, especially when they come from unexpected places—even within the church. In Philippians 1:15-18, Paul addresses this very challenge, revealing how he handled division and personal attacks during his imprisonment. Instead of seeking revenge or defending his reputation, Paul models an attitude of grace, refocusing on what matters most: the advancement of the gospel. In this episode, you'll learn practical steps to handle conflict with a Christ-like spirit, even when you're misunderstood or unjustly criticized. We explore how Paul openly identifies the problem, exposes wrong motives, and yet refuses to retaliate. Whether you’re facing personal conflicts or ministry challenges, Paul’s example shows that our true mission is to keep the focus on Christ’s message, not on ourselves. By resisting revenge and choosing joy, we can honor God in the midst of adversity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating conflict and seeking a biblical approach to maintaining peace and purpose.
