Episode Highlights
Reminder: Discern Daily doesn't exist to tell viewers what to think or believe. Instead, every episode exists to encourage listeners to think well for themselves and practice discernment each day.

"Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith — that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead" (Philippians 3:8-11).

Are we too caught up in working for more ways to become more comfortable on earth? Are we seeking to know Christ more? What are we working towards?

If we got the opportunity to suffer for Christ today, how would we respond?

What must we do to get in the right mindset here to be willing to joyfully suffer for Christ?
