The Family Teams PodcastShould Dads Really Go To Therapy?We live in a decidedly "therapeutic culture". There are a million questions we could ask about the implications of this, especially as it relates to fatherhood and motherhood, but the one we focus on today is, "Is embracing this therapeutic culture maladaptive for men?" Put another way, we discuss whether fathers are different enough from mothers that the question of therapy itself has to be broken down among gender lines. As always, we believe fatherhood and motherhood are the anchor points of gender. The entire REASON for gender. So, it makes...2024-12-2637 min

There’s a song that says, “If you receive and you believe, testify.” I don’t really like to talk about myself, but I think it’s important to do so when we go through certain things in life and experience certain things, and whenever God’s presence is in someone’s life, it’s encouraging to share with others.

Daniel 12 concludes the final vision and brings the book of Daniel to a stunning close. In the first half of the vision, we read about a series of kings who would “arise” to their thrones and oppress the people of God (Daniel 11:2, 3, 4, 7, 14, 16, 20, 21, 31). We were told that each king would meet their just “end” similar to the way previous kings in the book were humbled because of their pride (Daniel 11:27, 35, 40, 45). But somewhat surprisingly, we also read that some people who remained loyal to God would meet a similar fate; they would “fall by the sword or be burned or capture...2020-11-2026 minWillow JourneyDay 19 of Journey through Daniel | KINGS WILL ARISE AND KINGS WILL FALLCOMMENTARY
Yesterday, we read the introduction to the final vision of Daniel. Today’s reading reveals the message of the vision, which was “written in the book of truth” (Daniel 10:21; 11:2). This message reads like a history book. It recounts the rise and fall of various kings and kingdoms in the ancient Near East. These kings are not referred to by their names but are easily identified by the activities attributed to them. For example, the “mighty king” of Greece whose kingdom is “broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven” is undoubtedly Alexander the Great, the Greek empe...2020-11-1934 minWillow JourneyDay 18 of Journey Through Daniel: SUPERNATURAL WARFARECOMMENTARY
Today’s reading includes an extended introduction to the final and longest vision in the book of Daniel. It begins with Daniel seeking a message from God through the practices of prayer, mourning, and fasting. As we’ve seen God do so many times in this book, He responds to Daniel by sending an angelic messenger. But this time, the messenger is delayed by three weeks and for a strange reason. In Daniel 10:12-13, the angel says, “Do not be afraid, Daniel.

Today’s reading continues the occasion of Daniel 9. We’ve seen Daniel praying to God after reflecting on Jeremiah’s prophecy about the seventy years of captivity. Now, Daniel receives a vision from the angel Gabriel, which reveals more about the exile of the people of God. In Daniel 9:24, Gabriel says, “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.” In other words, exile was not entire...2020-11-1731 minWillow JourneyDay 16 of Journey Through Daniel | A CONFESSION OF CORPORATE SINCOMMENTARY
Daniel 9 contains another vision, but unlike the previous visions, it begins with a reflection on Scripture and a prayer. The historical and biblical background for this occasion is significant. Verses 1-2 tell us that “in the first year of Darius,” Daniel meditated on a message “given to Jeremiah the prophet,” which concerned “seventy years” of desolation for Jerusalem. In the book of Jeremiah, the prophet talked about how the people of Judah would be exiled in Babylon as a result of their sins but would return to their land after seventy years (Jeremiah 25:11-12; 29:10).

Daniel 8 contains another vision of beasts and horns, which represent kings and kingdoms. Unlike previous visions, this vision gives some specific interpretations for these images. The first image Daniel sees is a two-horned ram, a representation of the “kings of Media and Persia” (Daniel 8:20). Then, Daniel sees a shaggy goat with a prominent horn, a representation of “the first king” of “Greece,” Alexander the Great (Daniel 8:21). The final image Daniel sees is a small horn emerging from the goat. This horn is not explicitly identified, but most scholars agree that it represents Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a later Greek-Syrian...2020-11-1332 minWillow JourneyDay 14 of Journey Through Daniel | THE SUFFERING + ENTHRONEMENT OF THE PREEMINENT IMAGE OF GODCOMMENTARY
Today’s reading continues Daniel’s vision of the four beasts. The vision begins with beasts emerging out of chaotic waters, a scene reminiscent of biblical and Near Eastern creation stories where creation begins in the context of a watery, dark, and monstrous chaos (e.g., Genesis 1:1-2; Psalm 74:12-17). The vision now moves to a new scene where God, referred to as the “Ancient of Days,” is seated in a courtroom and is surrounded by His holy angels (Daniel 7:9).
In this courtroom, another figure appears who is described as “one like a son of man” (Daniel 7:13...2020-11-1230 minWillow JourneyDay 13 of Journey Through Daniel | A VISION OF FOUR GREAT BEASTSCOMMENTARY
Chapter 7 marks a critical juncture in the book of Daniel. It concludes the Aramaic section of the book, which runs from Daniel 2-7. It also marks the beginning of the apocalyptic section of the book, which runs from Daniel 7-12. Technically, we have already encountered some apocalyptic material in the dreams of Daniel 2 and 4. But whereas Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams were a part of narrative stories, the dreams and visions we read now in the second half of the book of Daniel are just that, dreams and visions.

Today’s reading continues the story of Daniel and the lion’s den. As we’ve seen, Darius was manipulated into making a decree that required all prayer go to him for 30 days. In humble noncompliance with the decree, Daniel offered prayers to God, just as he had always done. Now the story continues with the conspirators turning Daniel in. They say to the ruler in verse 13, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” 2020-11-1026 minWillow JourneyDay 11 of Journey Through Daniel | STANDING FIRM IN THE FACE OF LIONSCOMMENTARY
Daniel 6 introduces us to another ruler, and not just a new ruler, but a new empire – the Persian Empire ruled by Darius the Mede. While the leaders and their governments have changed, some of the ways they conduct business have remained the same. In fact, just as the story of Belshazzar in Daniel 5 paralleled the story of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4, the story of Daniel 6 parallels the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3.

In today’s reading, the story of Belshazzar and the writing on the wall continues. As we’ve seen, the local Babylonian experts have proven ineffective yet again at interpreting an omen of truly divine origin. In fact, in each successive story, they’ve shown themselves to be increasingly incompetent. In Daniel 2, they couldn’t tell Nebuchadnezzar his dream. In Daniel 4, they couldn’t interpret a dream even after hearing it. Now in Daniel 5, they are not only unable to interpret a message, they can’t even read the message!
So at the behest of the queen mother...2020-11-0630 minWillow JourneyDay 09 of Journey Through Daniel | THE HAND OF POWERCOMMENTARY
Daniel 5 introduces us to a new ruler in Babylon named Belshazzar. The chapter begins with Belshazzar hosting a banquet. This banquet was likely the customary drinking party that ancient military commanders would host in advance of great battles. At that time (approximately 539 BC), the Persian army was approaching the city of Babylon and preparing to topple this old empire. So at his party, Belshazzar tried to encourage his people with a visible reminder of how the Babylonian gods had given them victory in the past. He called for the “goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from th...2020-11-0527 minWillow JourneyDay 08 of Journey Through Daniel | BECOMING A BEASTCOMMENTARY
Today’s reading narrates the interpretation and fulfillment of Nebuchadnezzar’s second dream. As we’ve read, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed about a cosmic tree that was cut down and transformed into a beast. Now, Daniel reveals that Nebuchadnezzar is the tree and that he would quite literally take on animal-like qualities.
Nebuchadnezzar’s degeneration into a beast plays off key ideas from the opening chapters of the Bible. Genesis 1:26-27 teaches that God created humankind in His “image.” Interestingly, that word “image” is equivalent to the word that’s used to refer to statues in Daniel 2 and 3. As God’s statue-li...2020-11-0429 minWillow JourneyDay 07 of Journey Through Daniel | THE CUTTING DOWN OF A COSMIC TREECOMMENTARY
Daniel 4 records the story of another dream that comes to Nebuchadnezzar. Like the dream in chapter 2 and the story in chapter 3, this dream focuses on another large object: a tree. This was not just any large tree. The tree that Nebuchadnezzar sees has cosmic features. It is described as standing in “the middle of the land” (literally: the center of the earth), is so tall that its “top touched the sky,” and is “visible to the ends of the earth” (Daniel 4:10-11).
Although Nebuchadnezzar is confused about the meaning of the dream, cosmic trees like this one were lik...2020-11-0331 minWillow JourneyDay 06 of Journey Through Daniel | FAITHFULNESS IN THE MIDST OF UNCERTAINTYCOMMENTARY
In today’s reading, the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego continues. As we’ve seen, they have been accused of refusing to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar’s statue. Now, they are threatened with death in a blazing furnace. The passage begins with a stunning statement by the three men. They say in Daniel 3:17-18, “If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we wi...2020-11-0228 minWillow JourneyBonus Feature 1 of Journey Through Daniel | Kevin Taylor2020-10-3037 minWillow JourneyDay 05 of Journey Through Daniel | A TEST OF ALLEGIANCECOMMENTARY
Daniel 3 tells the story of another colossal statue. In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed about a statue. Now, perhaps inspired by the dream, he builds one. (Evidently, he forgot that the statue in his dream came crashing down!)
It’s not clear who exactly this statue represented. Some suggest it was an image of a Babylonian god. Others suggest it was an image of Nebuchadnezzar himself. In any case, Nebuchadnezzar decreed that all nations and peoples were to worship the statue or be thrown into a blazing furnace.

Yesterday we read about Nebuchadnezzar’s search for someone who could tell him his dream and its meaning. Today, we finally learn about Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and its meaning. Daniel reveals that Nebuchadnezzar had a dream about a colossal statue that was composed of four different metals: a head of gold, a chest and arms of silver, a belly and thighs of bronze, and legs of iron. This sequence of metals, which declines in value from top to bottom, corresponds to an ancient way of organizing history.

Toward the end of yesterday’s reading, we learned that God gave Daniel the ability to “understand visions and dreams of all kinds” (Daniel 1:17). Today, we see Daniel use these gifts for the first time. The story begins with Nebuchadnezzar having a troubling dream during the second year of his reign. Like much of the world at that time, ancient Babylonians found a great deal of significance in dreams. They understood dreams to be messages from the gods. Archaeologists have actually uncovered dream books that Babylonian scholars used to interpret dreams.

In yesterday’s reading, we were introduced to Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. These men were taken captive in Judah and brought to Babylon because of Nebuchadnezzar’s foreign policy, a policy which aimed to thwart future rebellions by capturing and indoctrinating the elite citizens of defeated nations. As we read in Daniel 1:3-7, these four men were placed into a program of forced cultural assimilation. They were given Babylonian names, a Babylonian education, and even a Babylonian diet. That is to say, they were being molded into good and loyal Babylonians.

The book of Daniel begins with a tragic scene. Daniel 1:1-2 tells us that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, conquered Jerusalem and carted off treasure from the Jerusalem Temple, placing it in the temple of his god in Babylon. The events described in these verses took place around 605 BC when Nebuchadnezzar rose to the Babylonian throne and his kingdom became the most powerful empire in the world.
In that cultural context, it was common practice for kings to steal treasure from the temples of those they defeated and move it into their own temples as Nebuchadnezzar...2020-10-2626 min

Our final reading tells the story of Jesus’ resurrection. Compared to Mark’s account of the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion, this story is short, and it may be shorter than it appears at first glance. About halfway through our reading, the text provides a note saying, “The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.” Modern scholars almost universally agree that these verses are a later, second century addition. Though they sound a lot like what we read in some of the other gospel accounts, they aren’t written in Mark’s characteristic style, and they...2020-04-1025 minWillow JourneyDay 19 of Journey Through Mark: THE AGONY & IRONY OF THE CROSSCOMMENTARY
Today’s reading tells the account of Jesus’ crucifixion. As we read this story, we shouldn’t miss the agony Jesus would have endured as He died on the cross. Our familiarity with images of the cross can numb us to the brutality of Jesus’ death. The reality is that it was likely much worse than we imagine. Roman crucifixion was an excruciatingly slow, public, and humiliating form of execution. Victims often experienced some form of torture beforehand like flogging (Mark 15:15). After being tortured, they were stripped naked, so as to bring shame (Mark 15:24). Then they were nai...2020-04-0934 minWillow JourneyDay 18 of Journey through Mark: POWER THROUGH PRAYERCOMMENTARY
A recurring theme we’ve seen in the book of Mark has been Jesus’ identity as the Son of God. Story after story demonstrates that the God of Israel has now appeared as the person of Jesus. This theme rises to a crescendo in today’s reading when Jesus makes His first public claim about His divinity (Mark 14:62).
While Mark wants us to understand that Jesus was fully God, He also wants us to see that He was also fully human. No story expresses His humanity more poignantly than the first episode we read today. Mark 1...2020-04-0827 minWillow JourneyDay 17 of Journey through Mark: SYMBOLIC MEALSCOMMENTARY

In the second meal, famously known as the Last Supper, the symbolism goes one step further. At this meal, Jesus reveals not only that He would soon die but also why He had to die. He gives us clues about the meaning of His death.

Mark 13 includes Jesus’ longest teaching in the book of Mark. This section is called the Olivet Discourse because it takes place on the Mount of Olives, which sits across from the Temple. The primary focus of this teaching is the fate of the Temple. Jesus has already symbolically stated that the Temple was under God’s judgment (Mark 11:12-20). Now, He communicates verbally, albeit privately and cryptically, that the Temple’s destruction is near.
One key to understanding this confusing and sometimes controversial passage is recognizing that Jesus uses a lot of figurative language. For ex...2020-04-0632 min
Willow JourneyDay 15 of Journey through Mark: TO GOD WHAT IS GOD'SCOMMENTARY
In yesterday’s reading, Jesus indicted Jerusalem’s religious leaders for their corruption and failure to welcome Him as God’s Son. In today’s reading, representatives of these leaders confront Jesus with a number of questions in order to trap Him. The first trap deals with the issue of Roman taxation. In Mark 12:14, some ask Jesus, “Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?” The “imperial tax” these questioners ask about was an unpopular Roman census tax. One rebel leader compared paying this tax to slavery. The sensitive nature of this yes or no questi...2020-04-0330 min

Mark 11 introduces the third and final act of the book of Mark. Over the last few chapters, Jesus has been traveling to Jerusalem. Now, He finally enters Jerusalem. When He arrives, He does a couple of odd things. These actions come to us in the form of another “Markan sandwich,” a story within a story.
The first half of the outer story tells us that on His way into Jerusalem, Jesus curses a fig tree when He sees that it has no fruit. Jesus says in Mark 11:14, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again...2020-04-0230 min
Willow JourneyDay 13 of Journey through Mark: THE SIGHT OF THE BLINDCOMMENTARY
Throughout the last two readings in Mark, Jesus has been on a journey to Jerusalem. In today’s reading, this journey ends in the same miraculous way that it started, with Jesus healing a blind man (Mark 8:22-26; 10:46-52). On its own, this closing story is significant because it reveals Jesus’ Messianic identity as the one who can bring sight to the blind (Isaiah 35:5; 42:7). Where it is located, the story is especially ironic because it shows how a blind beggar named Bartimaeus can “see” what others along the journey have failed to see.
For example...2020-04-0132 minWillow JourneyDay 12 of Journey through Mark: SERVANTS OF ALLCOMMENTARY
Today, Jesus continues to teach His disciples what it means for Him to be the Messiah, and just as we’ve seen in the past, His disciples are confused by His message. Their confusion takes on a variety of forms. One way it manifests itself is through an argument they have among themselves on the road. After hearing Jesus make another prediction of His death, they get into an argument over who among them is the “greatest” (Mark 9:34). This argument might have been provoked by Jesus inviting Peter, James, and John to witness His transfiguration (Mark 9:2). It alm...2020-03-3126 min
Willow JourneyDay 11 of Journey Through Mark: A SUFFERING MESSIAHCOMMENTARY
Today’s reading represents a major turning point in the book of Mark. Up until this point, Jesus has spent His time in and around the Galilean countryside, demonstrating with great power that He is the Messiah. Now, the book begins its second act as Jesus travels “on the way” to Jerusalem and teaches about the “way” of the Messiah (Mark 8:27; 9:33-34; 10:17, 32, 46, 52).
The episode in Mark 8:27-33 functions as a hinge between these two acts. In the first part of the story, Jesus asks His disciples a question: “Who do you say I am?” (Mark 8:29). Th...2020-03-3025 min
Willow JourneyDay 10 of Journey through Mark: IN GENTILE TERRITORYCOMMENTARY
In today’s reading, Jesus spends the majority of His time in Gentile territory. This is not the first time in Mark that Jesus has visited non-Jewish regions. He has already visited the Decapolis, a non-Jewish region on the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee (Mark 5:1-20). That trip was brief, but Jesus now begins to focus His ministry in areas beyond the Jewish Galilee.
One story we read tells of how Jesus returned to the Decapolis and miraculously fed 4,000 people. Other than the specific location in Gentile territory, the details of this ep...2020-03-2724 min
Willow JourneyDay 09 of Journey through Mark: HUMAN TRADITIONS & THE COMMANDS OF GODCOMMENTARY
Today, Jesus again finds Himself in trouble with the Pharisees and teachers of the law. As we’ve already seen in Mark, these people have accused Him of blasphemy, of eating with sinners, of failing to fast, of breaking the Sabbath, and of casting out demons by the power of Satan (Mark 2:6, 16, 18, 24; 3:2, 22). Now they have a new complaint with Jesus. After seeing His disciples eat without washing, they ask Him, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?” (Mark 7:5).
To appreciate the angst of...2020-03-2627 min
Willow JourneyDay 08 of Journey through Mark: A TALE OF TWO KINGSCOMMENTARY
A major portion of today’s reading tells the story of John the Baptist’s death. At first glance, this seems like an odd story to be placed at this point in the book. John had been a major figure early on, but he hadn’t been seen in five chapters (Mark 1:2-14). What’s more, this story is told as a flashback. By this time in Jesus’ life, John had already been killed. So why did Mark tell the story of John’s death in this part of the book?
It seems that Mark placed this...2020-03-2526 min
Willow JourneyDay 07 of Journey through Mark: A SAVIOR FOR ALLCOMMENTARY
Today, we read two more miracle stories that reveal Jesus’ identity and character. These stories are presented to us in a form that scholars often call a “Markan sandwich.” This is a literary feature used throughout the book of Mark. Mark frequently places one story in the middle of another story (e.g., Mark 3:20-35; 4:1-20; 6:6-31; 11:12-21; 14:1-11, 53-72; 15:40-16:8). By combining stories in this way, Mark intends for us to read them together so that each might shape our interpretation of the other and provide depth to our portrait of Jesus.
The stories sandwi...2020-03-2424 minWillow JourneyDay 06 of Journey through Mark: WHO IS THIS MANCOMMENTARY
At the end of yesterday’s reading, Jesus paused to teach about the kingdom of God through a series of parables. In today’s reading, Jesus resumes His ministry with a series of miracles. As we’ve been discovering throughout Mark, Jesus’ miracles were not just random acts of power and goodwill. Like His parables, the miracles that He performed taught veiled lessons. They demonstrated through actions what He had not said openly, that He is the Messiah, the Son of God.
The first miracle story we read about today illustrates this well. Mark 4:35-41 tells of...2020-03-2329 min
Willow JourneyDay 05 of Journey Through Mark: A HUMBLE, SUPERNATURAL MUSTARD SHRUBCOMMENTARY
In today’s reading, we encounter a collection of parables about the kingdom of God. A key to interpreting parables is recognizing their riddle-like nature. Parables aren’t always as simple as they might seem. In fact, Jesus indicates that they are meant to conceal as much as they reveal (Mark 4:11-12, 33-34). We see this in the parable of the mustard seed. On the surface, this parable teaches about the potential growth of Jesus’ kingdom. Just as the “smallest” of seeds can grow into the “largest of all garden plants,” so the kingdom of God has the potent...2020-03-2025 min
Willow JourneyDay 04 of Journey Through Mark: THE MESSIANIC SECRETCOMMENTARY
Many times in the book of Mark, Jesus makes a request that can seem baffling. Referred to by scholars as the “messianic secret,” Jesus frequently asks for His identity to be hidden. For example, when demons declare that Jesus is the “Son of God” in Mark 3:11-12, Jesus gives them “strict orders not to tell others about him” (cf., Mark 1:24-25, 34; 5:7-10). And Jesus doesn’t only silence demons. He also asks humans to keep His identity secret when they discover who He truly is (e.g., Mark 1:44; 5:43; 7:36; 8:26, 29-30; 9:9). This begs the question, why would Jesus want to hide H...2020-03-1926 min
Willow JourneyDay 03 of Journey Through Mark: A CONTROVERSIAL CALL TO SINNERSCOMMENTARY
As news of Jesus’ power spread throughout the Galilean countryside, He began to capture the attention of not just the crowds, but also religious authorities, and not
in a good way. Religious leaders began to see Jesus as a threat because His actions repeatedly conflicted with their teachings. In today’s reading, we encounter five separate stories that highlight this increasing hostility toward Jesus.
One of these stories features Jesus calling someone to follow Him. As we read yesterday, He had previously invited four fishermen to become His disciples
(Mark 1:16-20). In today’s read...2020-03-1832 min
Willow JourneyDay 02 of Journey Through Mark: THE CALL AND COST OF FOLLOWING JESUSCOMMENTARY
At the end of yesterday’s reading, Jesus proclaimed that “the kingdom of God has come near” (Mark 1:15). In today’s reading, we encounter the first detailed stories of Jesus’ kingdom work. Jesus begins to recruit followers, show signs that the kingdom is approaching, and give people a glimpse of His identity and character.
The first story in this series reveals something unique about Jesus’ character: He’s an invitational leader. When He sees two pairs of brothers fishing in the Sea of Galilee, He calls to them, “Come, follow me” (Mark 1:17). For a person of Jesus’ position...2020-03-1732 min

The book of Mark begins with a short, one-line introduction that serves as a title for the entire work: “The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God” (Mark 1:1). It’s brief, but this introduction makes an extravagant claim that would have been striking to those reading it in Mark’s time.
Around the time this book was written, the word translated as “good news” (or sometimes “gospel”) was commonly used to describe the lives and achievements of Roman emperors. Roman messengers would travel around proclaiming “good news” about things like a royal birth...2020-03-1233 min

He begins by sending his own personal greetings (Philippians 4:21). Then he passes along the greetings of those who were with him (Philippians 4:21-22). Finally, he prays for the “grace of the Lord Jesus Christ” to be with the Philippians, mirroring the blessing he bestowed upon these Christians at the opening of this letter (Philippians 4:23; 1:2). Although this closing is customary and brief, it should not be read as a mere formality. Even in these few short verses, Paul had something surprising he wanted to reveal

Today’s reading includes the conclusion to the main body of Paul’s letter. In this section, Paul gives thanks to the Philippians for some gifts they had recently shared with him. This is not the first time in this letter that Paul has expressed his gratitude for these gifts. In Philippians 1:3-5, he thanked God for their “partnership in the gospel.” In Philippians 2:25-30, he honored Epaphroditus for delivering these gifts. However, this is his most heartfelt thank you, encompassing a full ten verses.

As his letter begins to close, Paul shares a number of short, succinct instructions
as he frequently does toward the end of his letters (e.g., 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22;
1 Corinthians 16:13-18; 2 Corinthians 13:11). At first glance, these quick commands might seem random and unrelated, but they actually reiterate themes we’ve seen throughout the letter. For example, Paul writes in verse 9, “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.” This relates to Paul’s previous command: “join together in following my example” (Philippians 3:17). Or again, in verse 4, Paul...2019-11-1227 minWillow JourneyDay 16 of Journey Through Philippians: Unity in the LordCOMMENTARY
Throughout this letter, Paul often expresses his desire for the believers in the Philippian church to have unity with one another. In Philippians 1:27, Paul encourages his readers to “stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of
the gospel.” In Philippians 2:2, Paul asks them to be “like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” These calls for unity, along with other instructions like “do everything without grumbling or arguing,” make it clear that there was some level of disunity in this church (Philippians 2:14).

As chapter 3 comes to a close, Paul warns his readers about one last group of “enemies.” He writes, “For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame” (Philippians 3:18-19). There has been a fair amount of debate over what enemies Paul specifically had in mind in these verses.

Willow JourneyDay 13 of Journey Through Philippians: PRESSING ON TOWARD THE GOALCOMMENTARY
In the Greco-Roman culture where the Philippians lived, sports were a big deal. This is demonstrated by the many stadiums and athletic statues that have been dug up by archaeologists throughout Greece. In Philippi itself, there was an athletic facility known as a palaestra where local citizens would train in athletics. Because of the prominent role sports played in this society, Paul frequently used athletic metaphors in his letter to illustrate the nature of Christian living. For example, in Philippians 1:27-30, Paul uses gladiator language as he encourages the Philippians to continue “striving together” in their “struggle” with out...2019-11-0627 min

Willow JourneyDay 11 of Journey Through Philippians: NOT BY WORKS BUT BY FAITHCOMMENTARY
In Philippians 3, this otherwise joyous letter takes an ominous turn. At the beginning of this chapter, Paul warns his readers about some opponents who might threaten their church. This is not the first nor the last time in this letter that Paul refers to opponents (Philippians 1:15-18, 27-30, 3:18-19). However, these opponents are unique. Their efforts do not help advance the gospel or give the gospel any opportunity to shine. Instead, they have distorted the message of the gospel, so Paul describes these opponents with his harshest words.

Now, he tells them of his decision to send them a man named Epaphroditus for the time being. Unfortunately, we do not know a great deal about Epaphroditus. Unlike Timothy, who is mentioned by name 24 times across 12 books of the New Testament, Epaphroditus is mentioned just twice, and all in this one letter.

Beginning in Philippians 2:19, Paul shares about his plans to send some of his ministry partners to Philippi. This is a common feature in Paul’s letters. Paul often updated his readers on whether he or someone else would be visiting them. What is uncommon about this particular travel report is its size and its location in the letter. Paul’s travel reports are usually short (e.g., 2 Corinthians 13:10; Philemon 22). Also, they typically occur near the end of his letters (e.g., Romans 15:22-29). This particular update is unique because of its length, encompassing a full 12 verses, and beca...2019-10-3020 min

Unlike most of Paul’s other letters, and for that matter most other New Testament books, the letter to the Philippians includes no direct quotes from the Old Testament. This may be because the church in Philippi was made up almost entirely of people from a non-Jewish background, so the congregation may have been less familiar with the Old Testament. Another possibility is that Paul did not need to cite the Old Testament because he was not writing to correct bad theology like he did in other letters. Whatever the case may be, as someone who was im...2019-10-2919 min

In Paul’s day, Roman society was made up of a hierarchy of social classes that determined just about everything. They determined what a person could wear, whom they could marry, even where they could sit! So naturally, many people desired to climb the social ladder. One way they could do this was by gaining honor for themselves. We can see this especially in the lives of Roman emperors. Around this time, Roman emperors began to call themselves gods and welcomed the worship of themselves as gods. In doing so, they gained honor for themselves and solidified th...2019-10-2820 min

In Philippians 1:27, Paul shifts from describing his own circumstances to sharing some instructions with his Philippian friends. The first instruction he shares is perhaps his most important. He writes, “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” The significance of this instruction is indicated by the phrase “whatever happens” which can also be translated as “only,” “just one thing,” or “above all else.” The idea behind this phrase is that this was a lesson they shouldn’t miss. But even without this opening phrase, Paul’s Philippian readers could hardly miss the significance of this ins...2019-10-2420 min

In this section, Paul shifts his attention to his future circumstances, saying that he “will continue to rejoice” no matter what happened, whether he lived or he died (Philippians 1:18). This begs the question, how was Paul able to continue rejoicing while facing such an uncertain future?

There has been a good deal of debate about where Paul was imprisoned and what the specific conditions of his imprisonment were.
