Episode notes
Jesus Sought The Marginalized
- Jesus intentionally reached out to social outcasts and sinners rather than only to the righteous.
- Serving those who disagree or are marginalized reflects the heart of evangelism.
Seek Help Before It's Too Late
- Get help early for relationship, business, or personal problems instead of letting insecurity delay action.
- Admit brokenness and seek counseling before problems become catastrophic.
Worldly Measures Are Unreliable
- The world measures worth by appearance, affluence, achievement, and approval, but all four are unstable and fake.
- True, lasting self-worth comes from knowing how much you matter to God, not from worldly metrics.
