Episode Synopsis

You've been on a journey your whole life long to become the kind of person who can do the things that you are doing today.   God has been at work on you to prepare you—in your heart and in your character—for the challenges you are facing today.   Jesus teaches that God doesn't judge us based on how impressive the results of our efforts are. Instead, he's concerned with the quality of our response to his invitation.   Each day, when we say yes to what God has entrusted to us that day, we take one step closer to becoming the kind of people we're meant to be. Each day's small obedience adds up to a lifetime of fruitful growth and work in God's kingdom.
