In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor sits down with Ben Delaughter to talk about how God exposed his hidden motivations and invited him to change after he tried to prove himself through missionary work.
Whether you're a missionary, spiritual mentor, or anyone struggling with linking your worth to your productivity, or just curious about deepening your understanding of love and humility in the spiritual life, this conversation will reveal how making a sincere gift of yourself draws you more deeply into Christ's love.
What You’ll Hear:
• Ben Delaughter's background playing sports, where he learned that approval and love had to be earned from an outside source.
• The challenge Ben faced when he arrived at the University of Georgia (UGA) as a missionary, initially striving to get the most disciples to prove he was better than the previous missionary, Danny.
• The unexpected reversal: after having nearly all his "high calls" rejected one semester, the next semester saw every single high call accepted, leading to the realization that humility was the key difference.
