This episode reflects on Luke 9:10–17 and 1 Corinthians 10:31, exploring what it looks like to make Jesus the center, reason, content, and power of your ministry—whether that ministry is your business, parenting, friendships, or daily work.

Through personal stories and practical examples (Christian brands, service professions, coffee shops), the host asks: are we offering ourselves or Jesus? Listeners are encouraged to pause, identify one area of life to bring back to Jesus, and make time to retreat with Him.

In this episode, we unpack 1 Corinthians 10:31 through the story of PJ, a former D1/D3 women’s soccer coach turned pastor, exploring how to glorify God in highly performative spaces like collegiate athletics.

PJ shares practical examples of loving players well, leveraging relationships as ministry, resisting performance-driven shame, and how coaching can become a mission field that points others to Jesus.

How do we give God glory? We put together a list of verses that encourage, instruct, and rebuke us on how to give God Glory. Click here to get it today.

Today, we're doing things a little differently due to some technical difficulties with our originally planned Story.

Join us as we dive into Hebrews 11 and 12 to reflect on how each person mentioned in these chapters gave God glory right where they were. 

I am excited to share with you how God is teaching me simple obedience by listening to His voice right where we are.

What does it mean to “do whatever you do to the glory of God”? 

Does it mean that you’re a Rolodex of bible verses, ready to recite a verse on command? Does it mean you respond with “all glory to God” when people compliment you? Maybe...maybe not.

Together, we'll learn what it means through scripture and stories.
