In a culture obsessed with climbing ladders and promoting ourselves, followers of Christ are called to a radically different path—one of servanthood. Instead of fixating on our own needs and advancement, we're invited to shift our focus outward, seeking to serve those around us.

Join Kevin, Lorraine, and Brian as they explore what it means to serve not just well, but exceptionally—going above and beyond in ways that transform both giver and receiver. This episode unpacks servanthood as more than an occasional act of kindness; it's a complete way of life that shapes how we move through and see the world.

You'll also discover how true community requires the humility to not only serve others but to allow yourself to be served. It's a vulnerable heart posture of giving and accepting that deepens our connections and reflects the heart of the Gospel.

Tune in to be inspired and equipped to step boldly into opportunities to serve and be served.

They dive into combating the pride that comes with athletic achievement, exploring how to live radically different lives that point others toward something greater than the scoreboard.

From navigating the pressure-cooker environment of college athletics to raising kids who see sports as service rather than self-promotion, this conversation will challenge how you view every practice, every game, and every victory or defeat.
