Faithfully Effective

About this episode

Matt and Sylvia discuss the balance between faithfulness and effectiveness in ministry and explore biblical perspectives on these concepts.

When we talk about ministry, what's more important, to be faithful, or effective? What do these things mean in a ministry context? Is there even a difference? What is the Bible's logic about it? Matt and Sylvia dive into these questions on today's episode. They also talk about New Creation dynamics versus Old Creation dynamics, what they are, and how they play a key role in how we answer these questions. Hopefully this conversation can open up further conversation for listeners as well! Time Stamps 00:00-3:47: Banter 3:47: Content Instagram: @poddingthroughlife
