The Successful Alternative to Complaining

Good morning and welcome to Wake Up, where we wake up! ☀️
Today Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly revisit a life-changing passage in Philippians 4:4–7 💬 and share how to keep your joy and peace strong even when life feels chaotic.

Paul wrote these words while in prison, yet he said, “Rejoice in the Lord always.” 🙌 He reminds us that joy isn’t about perfect circumstances, it’s about trusting God in the middle of them. When we bring everything to Him through prayer and thanksgiving, His peace steps in and guards our hearts and minds. 💖

You’ll hear how gratitude shifts your atmosphere, how rejoicing becomes your weapon against worry, and why thanksgiving invites the kind of peace that surpasses all understanding. 💫

📖 Scripture Today: Philippians 4:4–7
