Two sisters & a cup of tea (Bible Study Podcast) – Détails, épisodes et analyse

As we do at the end of each season, we’re taking valuable time to reflect on where the Lord has been most speaking to us through the book of Philippians. Do take a look at our podcast show note questions to help you to reflect on this Bible book for yourself too.

Our recommended book this episode was 'A Call to Contentment' by David Kaywood and you can find it on the Christian Focus website.

Contentment. That Christian buzzword that feels ever so elusive, and yet as we reach the end of our Philippians Bible Study, the Apostle Paul shows us the way to truly find contentment with joy. It’s our penultimate episode in the book of Philippians - so do join us as we wrap up the season next time.

And we're back for another season! This time we're delving into Paul's letter to the Philippians - a letter full of Jesus and the joys of partnering in the gospel together, and we cannot wait to get started!

On that note, did you hear about how you can partner with us?  We'd love it if you would consider partnering with us financially over the next couple of weeks! Everyone who gives towards the podcast will receive a little thank you gift from us.  We are so thankful for your  partnership in the gospel! For all the details, head to our website.
