How do we find joy in humility| The Summer of Joy | ECC

Episode Summary

How do we find joy in humility? In this week’s episode, we explore Philippians 2:3–8, where Paul paints a powerful picture of Christ’s humility—not as weakness, but as the pathway to true joy. In a world that often celebrates pride and self-promotion, these verses challenge us to consider a different way: valuing others above ourselves, letting go of entitlement, and embracing the servant-hearted posture of Jesus. As we reflect on Christ’s example—who humbled Himself even to the point of death—we’re invited to reframe humility not as loss, but as the foundation of lasting joy. Whether you're leading, learning, or serving, this conversation offers a fresh vision of what it means to follow Jesus with joy through humility.

Episode Notes

Thanks for joining us this week as we continue our summer journey through Philippians!
In Philippians 2:3–8, Paul invites us to discover joy through humility—by putting others first, serving without seeking recognition, and following the selfless example of Jesus. This kind of humility isn’t about thinking less of ourselves, but about shifting our focus outward. It’s in that surrender—valuing others above ourselves and choosing the path of love—that we find deeper joy and meaningful connection.
