In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, we kick off our Serving with Purpose series with my friend Angela. She shares how she discovered her gifts of administration and hospitality, what it looked like to say yes to leadership in a homeschool community, and why trusting God matters when the what-ifs feel loud. We talk about humility, sanctification, and how serving can become an act of worship instead of just another obligation. We also talk about raising kids with a serving mindset. In this conversation: - Practical starting points: look for the needs around you, notice what brings you joy, pray honestly, and start small - How growth in faith often comes through simple, steady obedience - Why Christian community is one of the best places to live out real faith Want to share what gift God is stirring in you?
