In this first part of a two-part conversation, hosts Paul and Rebecca Turner turn their attention to the church at Philippi—a fellowship known for its faithful, joyful service to the Lord. Yet even in a healthy, serving church, spiritual opposition was at work. The Apostle Paul warned the Philippians about false teachers and the very real danger of strife arising between brothers and sisters in Christ.

This episode explores how these threats were not merely behavioral or organizational problems, but spiritual ones that required a spiritual response. Rules, pressure, and threats cannot cure spiritual contention. Instead, Paul points the church to the only true remedy: humble service. Through the example of Jesus Christ—the ultimate humble servant—we are reminded that unity flows from having the mind of Christ.

As Paul and Rebecca unpack these truths, listeners are challenged to examine their own hearts, their relationships within the body of Christ, and the posture with which they serve. True faithfulness is protected not by control, but by Christlike humility.

Part 3 of the “Secret of Harmony” Series

Harmony in relationships ultimately finds its fullest expression through love—but not a passive or conditional love. In Part 3 of this series, Paul and Rebecca Turner introduce the powerful concept of “aggressive benevolence”—a love modeled perfectly by Christ and made possible through a life fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus demonstrated aggressive benevolence toward us through a sacrificial love, a sanctified love, a selfless love, a satisfying love, and a spiritually enriching love. This was not reactive love; it was intentional, initiating, and redemptive. As the Holy Spirit transforms our surrendered lives, we are called to display that same Christlike love toward others in our homes, workplaces, and everyday relationships.

When believers choose to love as Christ loved—regardless of circumstances—harmony becomes more than an ideal; it becomes a lived reality. This final episode ties together surrender, spiritual fruit, and active love as the complete picture of relational harmony.

Part 2 of the “Secret of Harmony” SeriesTrue harmony in our homes and in our workplaces does not come from external pressure, rules, or control imposed from the outside. In Part 2 of this series, Paul and Rebecca Turner emphasize a vital truth: the control of the Holy Spirit is an internal work of God that produces fruit, not an external workof self that appears right and fruitful.

When a believer fully surrenders to the Holy Spirit, that surrender produces visible and relational fruit. Drawing from Ephesians 5:19-21, this episode explores the clear evidence of a Spirit-controlled life—a singing heart, a thankful heart,and a submissive heart. These qualities are not manufactured; they naturally flow from a heart yielded to Christ.

Relationships thrive when this fruit is present. Harmony becomes possible because it is not difficult to live or workwith those who consistently display joy, gratitude, and humility. These Spirit-produced qualities create an environment where unity can grow and conflict loses its power.
