Podcast: Black Girl Theology

Episode Title: S3E7 | Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice

INTRODUCTION:Good things are not always God things. What I mean is that just because something seems like a good opportunity doesn’t mean it’s what God wants us to do. We can sacrifice time, energy, and resources doing things God never told us to do. That’s why obedience is better than sacrifice.

In today’s episode, I talk about the story of a man who practiced partial obedience—sacrificing what he thought God wanted—and I share my own imperfect journey of striving for total obedience to God.
