Listen "The unlikely way forward."
Episode Synopsis
Feeling discouraged in sharing your faith? In a climate of opposition, indifference, and suffering, it’s easy to believe the gospel isn’t advancing. We often measure success by numbers, influence, and immediate results, leading to burnout or bitterness.But what if we’re using the wrong metric?In this powerful episode, we explore the counter-intuitive path to true missional success as defined by Scripture. We’ll dive into Luke 18, where Jesus tells two startling parables—one about a persistent widow and another about a humble tax collector. These stories reveal the two essential postures for anyone participating in God's work: dependent persistence and radical humility.Then, we see these principles come to life in the gritty, real-world ministry of the Apostle Paul. In his final charge to his protégé Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:10-4:5, we find a model for enduring hardship, rejecting pride, and staying faithful even when no one seems to be listening.Today's podcast is a message for every weary warrior, every discouraged evangelist, and every Christian who wonders if their faithfulness matters. Discover how the path of persistent prayer and self-emptying humility isn’t a detour—it’s God’s intended highway for His mission to move forward in power.
