39. How to Stop Making Life About You (Philippians 2)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this week’s Philippians study, we’re diving into Philippians 2—the chapter that lovingly (and painfully 😅) calls all of us out:
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit…”
We talk about what humility actually looks like in real life—not the Pinterest version. The kind that shows up in marriage, leadership, friendships, church life, and even the way we walk into conversations asking, “What do you need?”
In this episode, we unpack:
- Why selfish ambition is sneakier than we think
- How to do a “calendar audit” that reveals what you really prioritize
- What it means to “consider others more important than yourself” (without becoming a doormat)
- The powerful relationship Paul had with the believers in Philippi—and the words he used to describe them
- Why Paul says, “Honor men like him”—and how to identify the people in your life who are worthy of honor
And we end with a simple but challenging question:
Who in your life is worthy of honor… and do they know it?
