Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat does it really mean to have a servant heart?In today’s episode of This Feels Holy, I open up about something deeply personal: watching my husband quietly, consistently outserve me—and what that revealed about the power of a servant mindset. From cooking meals when I was emotionally low to giving massages after long workdays, his example reminded me what biblical service truly looks like.We dive into what it means to serve in marriage, how Christianity sets us apart from self-serving culture, and why Jesus' life as a servant is not just a story—it’s the model for how we’re meant to live.Whether you’re married, single, or healing, this episode will challenge, inspire, and soften you. Because service isn’t weakness—it’s worship. And the more we pour into others, the more God fills us in return.VIDEO CHAPTERS00:00 – World culture vs. kingdom culture on serving  02:00 – A personal story: how my husband is serving me  04:30 – Why a servant heart matters in marriage  07:00 – What Jesus teaches us about service  09:00 – The difference between Christian service and New Age self-focus  11:00 – How to recognize when your heart isn’t ready to serve  13:30 – What it looks like to heal and start serving again  16:00 – The “abundant river” metaphor + serving from overflow  18:30 – Submission, service, and spiritual maturity  21:00 – God’s design: we’re blessed to be a blessing  23:00 – Why serving helps you see people as God’s children  25:00 – The strength of a servant (and honoring my husband)  27:00 – Discernment: when service becomes self-neglect  29:00 – Practical ways to develop a servant mindset  32:00 – Final encouragement: serve from a full cup, not empty guiltSupport the showIf you want to participate and interact with the show, head over to www.dannagift.com where you can submit your topics or questions you want to hear on any upcoming episodes.
