Many churches and leaders are constantly chasing the next big thing, hoping it’ll spark growth or keep people engaged. But so often, these changes fall flat and don’t lead to real transformation. So how do we stay truly motivated—and help others desire a lifestyle of discipleship and mission that lasts?
In this episode of the podcast, we show you how "Gospel Motivation" shapes the way we lead our churches, communities, and families—and what happens when we rely on anything else. This goes deeper than hype or hustle. It’s about living from the inside out.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- Why the “American Dream” might be quietly pulling you away from mission
- How what we believe in our heads shapes the affections of our hearts
- Why the gospel reorients all of our motivations and desires
- What makes a life of faith attractive—or unappealing—to others

From this episode:`
“It can be hard to rightly motivate people on mission… we have well-worn grooves, patterns, and language that end up being more law than grace, more hard work than gospel freedom. To grow in your gospel fluency and learn the 'language of the gospel', I want to invite you to a powerful, free training and webinar I’m hosting… The Gospel in Everyday Life.
Reserve your spot now. I know of no other training that can change your life as much in one hour!”
