Faith encouragement to serve with joy: walk with God in real life, shift your perspective

Season 1, Episode 900:19:12Published April 1, 2025

Have you ever signed up to serve and then felt drained, resentful, or like you were doing it out of obligation? In this episode, we share faith encouragement for finding real joy in serving. Angela and I talk about the simple perspective shifts that help you walk with God in real life, even on the hard days.

We discuss how serving with the right people can strengthen your faith walk, why gratitude changes your attitude, and how joy and happiness are not the same thing. We also talk about listening for God’s direction, taking thoughts captive, and choosing practical ways to serve that fit your season and your gifts. From greeting at church, to helping at a library, to checking on a friend who is having a tough week, these small steps can become a steady pattern of faith in practice.

If you are longing to grow closer to God and live out real faith in everyday life, this conversation will encourage you to start where you are and serve with love.
