The Verse You've Been Misusing | Philippians 4:13

Philippians 4:13 is the most-quoted verse on coffee mugs and the most-misused verse in the New Testament. Paul is not saying you can win at anything you want. He is saying you can be content in any state, abundance or want, through Christ who strengthens you. The strength here is the strength to be steady when the circumstances are not steady. Paul learned this in prison, not on a stage.

This episode of Formation to Transformation walks Philippians 4:13 verse by verse for worship leaders, worship pastors, musicians, audio engineers, lighting directors, and the whole worship team. Read the written version and get extra notes at ryanloche.substack.com.
