About This Episode

Does serving feel like one more thing you have to do?

In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I wrap up our Serving with Purpose series by talking about serving as a heart posture, not a sign-up sheet. I share how my kids described being a servant, a story from our family's Habitat for Humanity build, and what God did in my heart even when I could not see the finished outcome. We look at Jesus' example and sit with Colossians 3:23, and how our daily work can become worship.

In this conversation:

  • How patience, listening, prayer, and meeting practical needs are real service
  • Why serving with joy is different from saying yes to everything, and why healthy boundaries matter
  • How to serve without needing recognition

If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs it, or reach out at https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact. I would love to hear from you.
