The Connecting Podcast with Paul Tripp

What if sadness isn't something to avoid, but a mark of God's grace at work in your life?

This week, Paul and Shelby continue their study of the Beatitudes by exploring why Jesus calls those who mourn "blessed," and how a broken heart over the world's suffering and our own sin leads to the comfort and hope found only in Christ.

The path to true blessing begins where our pride ends. 

This week on The Connecting Podcast, Paul and Shelby discuss what it means to be "poor in spirit" and why recognizing our spiritual need is the doorway to God's grace and lasting joy.

What if the biggest problem in your life isn't your circumstances, but your character? 

This week on The Connecting Podcast, Paul and Shelby discuss why Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount with the Beatitudes, and how lasting transformation comes not from escaping hardship, but from a heart that is being changed by God's grace.

Today marks the beginning of a brand-new season of The Connecting Podcast. We've refreshed the format to bring you shorter, weekly conversations between Paul and Shelby Abbott. Each Friday, you'll hear a new 20-minute episode designed to help you connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

If you haven't already, be sure to follow this podcast so you never miss a new episode.

To kick off this new season, Paul and Shelby will spend the coming weeks exploring The Sermon on the Mount and what it means to live faithfully as a Christian in a world gone crazy. Our prayer is that these conversations will encourage, equip, convict, and comfort you as Paul connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

In today’s episode, Paul and Shelby Abbott continue their conversation on The Blessings and Danger of Anger — Part Two. If you missed Part One, you can find it in Episode 50 of The Connecting Podcast.

This will be the final episode of this version of The Connecting Podcast for a little while—but don’t worry. We’ll be back in a few months with a new format and more conversations to come. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore the archives and catch up on any of the previous 50 episodes you may have missed, featuring Paul with special guests or with Shelby discussing topics like grace, faith, and evangelism.
