What would it take for you to say, “If I die, I win”? Not from a place of comfort or poetry, but from prison, with real suffering in front of you. That’s the posture Paul takes in this part of his letter to the Philippians. He’s not trying to sound spiritual. He’s showing us what it looks like when your entire life belongs to Christ. In today’s episode, we’re walking through Philippians 1:19–26. P...

This episode is a vulnerable one. I’m sharing how parenting—especially in the middle of tantrums and meltdowns—has been showing me who God really is. His patience. His protection. His kindness.

This episode is a punch in the gut in the best way. Paul was in prison when he wrote this—and instead of asking for pity, he celebrated that his suffering was being used to push the gospel forward. He wasn’t focused on comfort. He wasn’t obsessed with his platform. He wasn’t even mad that others were preaching Christ with the wrong motives. He was laser-focused on one thing: is Jesus being made kn...

Blog post: https://meandjesus.life/2025/06/04/jesus-cares-about-the-little-stuff-study-of-john-2112 What do you do when the wine runs out? When the plan falls apart. When the need feels small, but still heavy. In John 2, Jesus performs His first miracle—not in a temple or a storm, but at a wedding. A private, almost hidden moment.
