16. Philippians 4, Campus Ministry, and Rejoicing Always with Rev. Elizabeth Villegas

Aug 14, 2025    Pastor Becca Detterman, Rev. Elizabeth Villegas

What does it really mean to “rejoice in the Lord always” when life is messy, unpredictable, and often exhausting? In this conversation, Pastor Becca sits down with Rev. Elizabeth Villegas to reflect on Philippians 4 and the joy—and challenge—of living in Christian community with college students. From late-night conversations to moments of deep prayer, they explore how rejoicing becomes more than an emotion: it’s a shared practice of gratitude, encouragement, and trust in God’s presence. Whether you’re on a campus, in a congregation, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to discover joy that is rooted in Christ and strengthened in community.
