Reading Philippians During Lent
Watch Promo Register for this eCourse Classroom
Rejoice in the Lord Always…even through Lent! Upper Room author Max Vincent finds joy in Paul’s letter to the Philippians and encourages us to find that joy through Lenten spiritual practices. Prayer, Witness, Humility, Hospitality, Asceticism, and Giving are all practices where we’re invited to find deep joy. (Yes, even in asceticism!)
Meet author Max Vincent and Upper Room editor Erin Palmer through video sessions that introduce each chapter. Join with others in discussion of chapter readings through each week of Lent. Audio recordings of scripture enhance daily practice. Reflection questions prompt deeper connection to the text. All are designed to bring you closer to God and to deepen your joy this Lenten season.
