Hey guys, my name is Mike Bro. Thanks for tuning in to the Daily Drive podcast today. We're just doing a little

informal five-minute journey through a little

book of the New Testament of the Bible called Philippians. And if you're new to the Bible, man, I'm so

excited that you're hanging with us. Because God's word is so fresh, and it's alive, and it's

relevant, and I think you'll find it stirring in you in a really good way. Well, if you've been

tracking with us, welcome back. It's such a cool book. Only four chapters, but it's so full of rich stuff.

It was actually written as a letter to a church in a city called Philippi to a group of courageous

and compassionate people who are living in very uncertain times.

Kind of describe some people I know these days.

The theme of this letter is joy.

Not a manufactured happiness, not an

adrenaline rush, not emotional hype, not temporary ecstasy, but a deep-seated joy that is constant

through the hard times as well as the good times. And the cool thing is, that actually exists.

And it's amazingly available through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

And we've already gone through about half the letters.

So if you want to go back and take a listen, you can't.

And I'd encourage you to read a few verses every day, just meditate on them, chew on them for a while.
