Serving for the Purpose of Godliness

About this episode

This episode discusses the centrality of serving in the Christian life, exploring biblical motives and the significance of service as worship and discipline.

Serving isn’t an optional add-on to the Christian life—it’s central to following Christ. In this episode, Pastor Brandon walks through Romans 12:7 and the call to serve, drawing from Scripture and the wisdom of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. You’ll learn the biblical motives for service—obedience, gratitude, gladness, forgiveness, humility, and love—and see how even ordinary acts of service carry eternal weight. With examples from Scripture, daily life, and the powerful story of Henri Nouwen, this episode reminds us that service is both worship and discipline. Discover how God shapes us, strengthens us, and uses us when we embrace the joy of serving.
