The Avoda Life Podcast

In this episode of The Avoda Life, we discuss what distinguishes a kingdom-minded business from just adding a "Jesus label" to good practices. We explore aligning business and personal goals with God's original design for the kingdom of heaven, the importance of seeking divine priorities, and the role of community. This foundation will lead into future interviews with leaders successfully integrating these principles.

Dustin and Aaron explore the Hebrew concept of "Avoda," meaning work, worship, and service. They discuss how this idea has transformed their view of church, emphasizing daily commitment beyond traditional Sunday services. They both share experiences in merging business and ministry, aiming for a balanced approach that values individual gifts. They discuss moving away from traditional models to foster creativity, ownership, and collaboration in serving the Kingdom of God.

In this episode, we delve into the origins of the seen world from the unseen realm of thought and the role of faith as a tangible substance, drawing insights from Hebrews 11. We also discuss the impact of scientific principles—from Newtonian and Darwinian to quantum mechanics—on Christian theology. Discover practical steps to align your thoughts with positive faith-based principles and see how your daily work and ministry can become acts of worship.

In this episode, Aaron and Jen Sanders sit down with Dustin Smith to share their unique journey, blending faith, family, business, and ministry. They open up about stepping away from traditional church roles, their experience living in a van, and how those challenges reshaped their understanding of serving God. Join them as they talk about making family decisions together, leaning on their faith through tough times, and discovering a new way to live out their calling.
