Timothy Jul 12, 2026

Show notes

In Philippians 2:19-24, Paul couldn’t find anyone like Timothy to send to the Philippians. Why? Because Timothy stopped seeking his own interests and started seeking Christ’s kingdom instead.

In this message, we break down what made Timothy different and how you can become the kind of person God can use in your relationships, church, and calling.

We also unpack:

- Why you don’t jump into leadership too soon

- The cost of following Christ (and losing friends because of it)

- How to trust God when you don’t have the full picture

- Why who you marry can disqualify you from ministry

Sermon from Amen Podcast’s “Stress Less” Philippians series.

20:20 Why people leave when you follow Christ

25:00 Who you marry matters

Being a child of God is a privilege — and a responsibility. In Philippians 2:14-15, Paul says we're called to live without complaining, without arguing, without that dark inner dialogue — so we shine like stars in a crooked generation. In this episode, we talk about what it means to hold out the gospel unashamed, give everything like Jesus did, and stop holding back.

God's Unquestionable Love Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

You keep secretly asking the same question: does God actually love me? After the week you had?

In this message from our Maturity series, we’re in 1 Corinthians 9:1–14 — where Paul lays down his rights to be paid by the Corinthian church to show them a deeper kind of love. But the real point underneath it all is this: you don’t have to question God’s love for you.

Peter denied Jesus three times — even cussed out a little girl to do it. And days later, Jesus is on the beach cooking him breakfast, asking “Simon, do you love me?” Notice what Peter never asks back: “Do you love me?” Because Peter already knew. The same hands that formed Jupiter knelt down to wash dirty feet. The cross was never Plan B — it was Plan A. A rescue mission with your name on it.

If you’re learning how to lay down your rights — with your spouse, your boss, the people who wronged you — this one’s for you. Love builds up. Knowledge puffs up. Look at Christ. And if it’s still hard, look longer.

You can't earn your salvation. So why does so much of Christian culture make you feel like you have to?In this episode of the Stress Less series, we look at Philippians 2:12-13, one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible. "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling" has been used to load young Christians with anxiety and the constant question, "Is God disappointed in me today?" But Paul isn't telling you to earn anything. He's telling you to live out what God has already done.We talk about why a small view of Jesus produces a small reverence for Him, how the enemy's plan isn't to make you doubt Jesus exists but to make you think He's small, and how a big view of God leads to the freedom of a stress less life. Plus, why "it is God who works in you" is the cure for comparison, grind culture, and chasing social currency.After the Amen question: Where do you see God at work within you?

We are stressed because we are stuck thinking about ourselves. In Philippians 2:5-11, Jesus did not grasp His glory. He emptied Himself, served, and humbled Himself to the cross. Because we were never forgotten by God, we are free to forget ourselves. This is the freedom of self-forgetfulness, not something we achieve, but something we already have in Christ.
