God doesn't need us to contribute to His plans; He wants us to give our all and leave the rest up to Him
In this episode of The Recovery Pastor Podcast, the focus is on Romans 12 and the idea of being 'all in' for God. The discussion begins with the foundation laid out in the first 11 chapters of Romans and transitions into how believers are called to serve one another as a united body of Christ. The host emphasises that God desires full worship and engagement from His followers, not just contributions on our terms.
This theme is explored through personal anecdotes and reflections, highlighting the importance of living a sacrificial life dedicated to worship and service. One memorable story involves a woman named Antoinette who, at 59, finally embraced her calling despite her anxieties, demonstrating the power of community and support in worship. The episode also touches on practical aspects of recovery, likening daily spiritual practices to a 'daily inventory' where individuals assess their actions and seek reconciliation.
By examining Romans 12:1-2, the host encourages listeners to present their bodies as living sacrifices and to renew their minds to discern God's will. The episode concludes with a unique challenge: to read Psalm 139 daily as a personal prayer and reflect on its meaning in one's life. This reflective practice aims to deepen one's connection with God and reinforce the commitment to a life of full worship.
If you're seeking a blend of spiritual guidance and practical advice for living a life fully devoted to God, this episode is worth your time.
