Christian Geek Central Podcast

(TIME STAMPS BELOW)In a brief departure from the show's normal format, I gather together Bible studies I've previously published for a deep-dive exploration of some of the Bible's perspective and instructions as it pertains to dark emotions like sadness and anxiety. With a focus on Philippians 4:4-9, and incorporating other relevant passages in scripture, we'll look at what the Bible prescribes to help Geeks have fulfilling lives even in seasons of depression, and healthier thought-lives and emotions all year long!00:00:30 Intro00:05:32 Finding Purpose In The Slog Of Life00:19:29 Living With Sadness: The Limitations Of Jesus00:33:09 Philippians 4:4-500:44:38 Philippians 4:6-701:05:44 Philippians 4:8, Part 101:19:48 Philippians 4:8, Part 201:33:32 Philippians 4:8, Part 301:42:48 Philippians 4:8, Part 401:51:00 Philippians 4:8, Part 501:58:59 Philippians 4:9Support this podcast and enjoy exclusive rewards at https://www.patreon.com/spiritbladeproductions <a href="https://feeds.podcastmirror.com/christiangeekcentral" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="//feedburner.google.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="border:0"/></a><a href="https://feeds.podcastmirror.com/christiangeekcentral" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a><a href="http://subscribeonandroid.com/feeds.podcastmirror.com/christiangeekcentral" title="Subscribe on Android"><img src="https://assets.blubrry.com/soa/BadgeLarge.png" alt="Subscribe on Android" style="border:0;" /></a>Open In i-tunes- itms://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-christian-geek-central-podcast/id258963175?mt=2i-tunes Page Link- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-christian-geek-central-podcast/id258963175?mt=2Get fun, exclusive rewards for your support!
