#035 "Practice, He Makes Perfect" (Philippians 4:9)

February 09, 2025 • Kate

“What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:9, ESV)

Have you ever seen a child imitate their parent or an animal mimic its parent’s movements? That adorable imitation speaks to a profound truth: we become who and what we imitate. In this inspiring episode, Kate invites you to reflect on Paul's challenge in Philippians 4:9 to "practice what you have learned and seen in him." But here's the twist—Paul was simply imitating Christ, the ultimate example of a life well-lived.

Kate breaks down how Paul’s instructions echo the teachings of Jesus, offering practical steps to practice joy, reasonableness, prayer, and peace in everyday life. Through engaging examples and personal stories, she emphasizes how intentional practice leads to spiritual growth and Christlike transformation.

Looking for a tool to help you stay on track? Kate shares a brand-new, personal prayer journal to guide your daily reflections and help you put these practices into action. She also opens up about her personal struggles and how God is using this very passage to stretch and transform her.

If you're longing for peace and a deeper walk with Christ, this episode is for you. Listen today and take the first step toward practicing the life God has called you to—one filled with joy, peace, and the promise of His presence.
