Let the Light In

Aug 14, 2022    Brock Tharpe

Brock kicks off our series, "Shine," going through the book of Philippians by digging into Philippians 1:3–7, calling us to embrace our identity as light-bearers in a dark world. With a surprising lesson learned from a pet Russian tortoise, Brock reminds us that while light may not change our circumstances, it radically transforms our perspective. The light of Christ helps us see the blessings around us, even in difficulty, and reawakens the dormant joy in our hearts.

Through the Apostle Paul’s example—writing about joy from prison—the message challenges listeners to shift their mindset: to view obstacles as opportunities, despair as a call to let the light in, and everyday moments as sacred gifts.
