Ep 7: The Meaning of Life (Is Giving It Away)
If you ask the average person what the goal of Christianity is, they might say "getting to heaven" or "being a good person". But the ultimate sign of spiritual maturity actually has nothing to do with you—it's about everyone else.
In the final episode of our "Growing Up" series, Pastor Rodney Thrift and Bryan Evans discuss why you will never be fully fulfilled until you start giving your life away. We unpack the dangerous shift where church went from something we participate in to something we just attend , and we dismantle the idea that you need a microphone to be a minister.
Whether you feel totally exhausted by your daily routine or you think you don't have anything left to give, this episode will show you how to find holy purpose in the small, ordinary moments of your week.
In this episode, we cover:
Minister vs. Attendee: Why there are "no extra parts" in the body of Christ.
The River vs. Pond Analogy: Why taking in grace without giving it away leaves you spiritually stagnant.
+1Removing the Pressure: How to make a difference when you're busy, tired, and just standing in the grocery store line.
+1The Challenge: How to change someone's world this week.
