"But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me."(Philippians 2:25-30)This episode is a chapter out of my coming book, "Being Saints" and arecast from my other podcast, Project:Philippians (https://shows.acast.com/project-phillipians)

A meditation from Mark 16 on the dark hopelessness that strikes between Good Friday and Easter.

This week we will be celebrating Good Friday. And, of course, words like "celebrating" and "Good" don't quite feel appropriate for the atrocious execution that took place on this day. But it's my goal today to remind you of some of the reasons that we have to "cherish that old rugged cross."(This episode is a recast from my other podcast -- Project:Philippians.

It's that time of year to stretch our eyes to the horizons and ask the Lord, "Oh, Father! What are you doing that I can be a part of?"
