Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David

Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

In today's episode, we're going to listen to a talk that Paul gave at his alma mater,

Columbia International University,

for their 100th anniversary this past fall.

In it, Paul teaches how to be a Christian

without losing your mind.

Here's Paul.

Well, it's such an honor for me

to be a participant in these very significant days.

Those of you who were around when I was a student know how unlikely it is that I'm on this

platform at this period of time.

I'm going to have more to say about that this evening.

I want to talk to you about how to be a Christian without losing your mind.

I probably should say it this way, how to be a Christian without losing your gospel mind.

If you have a Bible with you or your iPad or your iPhone

or whatever weird off-brand you're carrying,

that was a joke.

Turn to 1 Peter chapter 5.

I love 1st Peter.

I think it's one of the most wonderful explanations of the gospel applied to everyday life and all of the New Testament.

And it's always moving to me
