The Good Portion

Why Serving Within the Local Church Matters


Listen Later

In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Hollie, Emma, and Susanne for an honest conversation about why serving in the local church truly matters. Three of these women currently serve on staff, and one volunteers faithfully after previously serving on staff—each bringing a unique perspective on what it looks like to use your gifts to build up the body of Christ.

Together they discuss how serving is not just about filling a role, but about spiritual growth, deeper connection, and participating in the mission God has given His church. When every believer steps into their unique calling, the church functions as it was designed—but when parts of the body remain inactive, something important is missing.

In this conversation, they talk about:

  • Why serving strengthens our own faith

  • How God uses serving to grow and shape us

  • The beauty of the church functioning as a body where every part matters

  • The relationships and community that form when we serve together

  • What’s at stake when believers stay on the sidelines

  • Why serving as a family—and modeling it for our children—matters for the next generation

    Whether you’re already serving or still wondering where you fit, this episode will encourage you to see the vital role you play in the life of the church.
