How to Find Joy in Serving Others - Part 2/3

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

Have you ever signed up to serve but secretly felt drained, uninspired, or even resentful? Maybe serving started to feel more like an obligation than an act of love. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and that's exactly what we're diving into today!

We're here for part two of our three-part series called Serving With Purpose.

Last week, we talked about how to discover and use our gifts to serve others, and today, we're going even deeper—because, let's be real, sometimes serving feels like another thing on the to-do list instead of something life-giving!

In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, my friend Angela joins me again to talk about how we can shift our perspective and find true joy in serving others. We discuss:

✨ The difference between serving out of duty vs. serving out of love.
✨ A personal story where serving someone else unexpectedly changed her.
✨ What to do when you feel burnt out or uninspired in your service.
✨ Simple mindset shifts that can bring joy back into serving.
✨ Easy, practical ways to start serving with a full heart—no big platform or title required.

If you've ever struggled with feeling weary in serving, this conversation will refresh your heart and encourage you to step into service with renewed joy and purpose.
