When was the last time you got angry? Why did you get angry? Who were you angry with? What was the fruit of that anger?
We experience anger every day, but not all anger is wrong—and not all anger should be resisted. In this Connecting Podcast, Paul and Shelby Abbott begin an extended conversation on the blessings and dangers of anger.
Anger, while not listed as a fruit of the Spirit, can be a righteous, God-honoring response. Our God is filled with holy anger, and as his image-bearers, we are called to reflect his character.
That means we have the capacity for godly anger, and there are real blessings that can come with it. But sin has corrupted our hearts, giving us an equally real capacity to twist something good into something destructive. What begins as righteous anger can quickly become selfish and harmful.
The Bible is shockingly honest about anger, and Paul and Shelby are here to connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to our everyday lives as they explore both the blessings and the dangers of anger.
Welcome to Ask Paul Tripp, a weekly podcast from Paul Tripp Ministries where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp answers your questions, connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.
This week, Paul responds to a question from Joe who asks how Christians can pursue hard work, growth, and ambition without violating the Bible’s clear call to contentment—wondering how dissatisfaction that fuels diligence can coexist with a heart that is truly content in Christ.

In 2007, Americans underwent 11.7 million cosmetic surgeries—a staggering reminder of our obsession with appearances.

Could a church that boldly preaches the sovereignty of God still operate out of fear? Could someone who publicly proclaims God’s faithfulness secretly struggle with daily anxiety about the future?
In today’s episode, we’re continuing our sermon series from the archives, Living with Eternity in View. In this message, Paul teaches from Matthew 6 that when our hearts are set on earthly treasures, worry is inevitable—even though God has promised us an unshakably secure future.

At some point this week, something provoked you to anger—but what was it?
In today’s episode, we conclude our four-part sermon series from the archives, Loving Your City. In this final message, Paul turns to Acts 17, where the Apostle Paul is provoked—not by personal inconvenience, but by the idolatry filling the city of Athens. Are you stirred by the idolatry in your culture? True ministry begins with hearts that are provoked for the glory of God.

You are called to shine as lights in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation. But to do that, you must have a biblical perspective on ministry.
In today’s episode, we continue our four-part sermon series from the archives, Loving Your City. In this third message, Paul challenges the idea that ministry is something you step into and out of—reminding us that everywhere we go, we are called to represent Christ.

If you have been blessed by anything that Paul Tripp and Paul Tripp Ministries has produced over the last two decades, it's largely because of the sacrifice of one man: Steve Sarkisian.
In the early 2000s, Steve's marriage was on the brink of divorce, and God used Paul during his days as a biblical counselor to restore Steve's relationship with Gail. Afterward, Steve walked away from tens of millions of dollars in personal fortune, sold his Rolls Royce, and helped co-found Paul Tripp Ministries in 2006.
This month's guest on The Connecting Podcast is our very own co-founder and vice-president of Paul Tripp Ministries. You'll be blessed and encouraged by his story of redemption!
This week, Paul discusses the beautiful, life-giving hope of our ultimate restoration in Christ.

In today’s episode, we’ll begin a new sermon series on the life of David and in today’s message, Paul reminds us that our hope is in the God who stands behind His promises.
