Everyone wants to be a hero.But, one trait of a hero stands out above all others, and that’s selflessness. And true selflessness means bleeding for others.In this podcast, we discuss the nature of selflessness as well as the foundation and motivation behind it. We examine the life of David and Jesus, in order to learn how it’s possible to truly live that way today.Listen to the podcast for more!(*This week’s podcast and discussion questions are free for all subscribers.)

The Takeaway: Personal Application

1. Reflect on a recent act of selflessness in your life. Was it motivated by duty, genuine love, or something else? How did your motivation impact your experience and the recipient's experience?

2. Consider the selfless acts of David's Mighty Men and Jesus. How do their examples challenge you to move beyond religious duty and embrace a more authentic, love-driven approach to selflessness?

3. Think about a time when you felt conflicted about performing a religious duty or act of service. What did you learn from that experience, and how can you ensure that your future acts of service are rooted in genuine love and selflessness?

4. How do you personally define and cultivate authentic selflessness in your life? What practical steps can you take to nurture a heart of love that naturally leads to selfless actions?

 5. Reflect on moments in your life when you experienced the joy and fulfillment of selflessness. How can you intentionally seek and create more of these moments in your daily interactions and relationships, aligning your actions with a love-driven, selfless heart?
