Gospel Motivation: The Key to Changing Our Desires Pt.2

34 minutes

If you've ever tried to motivate others toward a lifestyle of discipleship and mission beyond a weekly meeting… you know it’s not easy. And let’s be honest—sometimes our own motivation could use a little tune-up, too.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we continue our conversation on Gospel Motivation—how what we believe shows up in our actions and rhythms. We’ll talk about the power source behind lasting discipleship and the signs that a leader (or a church) is motivated by something other than the gospel.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Why Jesus’ words to his would-be disciples may surprise you

What to look for in a leader’s life to spot gospel motivation

3 things you absolutely can’t leave out if you want to make mature disciples

Where real power for living on mission comes from

Get started here…

From this episode:

“Jesus was serious about the cost of discipleship. But he was also clear about the benefits and results of living in light of the gospel of the Kingdom. Be aware of the subtle ways that disobedience, self-preference, and complacency creep into your heart and replace a gospel-motivation with a self-motivation.”
