Living a Life of Service—Following Jesus’ Example - Part 3/3

In this final episode of the Serving with Purpose series, we’re diving into what it really looks like to live a life of service—not just occasionally, but every day. It’s just me today, and I’m sharing some surprising (and hilarious!) wisdom from my kids' essays on what it means to be a servant. Their words reminded me that real service isn't always dramatic—it’s often quiet, consistent, and unseen.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

✨ How Jesus modeled everyday, faithful service
✨ Why real service starts in the small moments
✨ How to shift from “I have to serve” to “I get to serve”
✨ What it means to worship through service
✨ Why showing up—especially when it’s inconvenient—matters more than you think

Plus, I’ll challenge you to ask God how you can serve in small but meaningful ways this week.

Whether you’re serving in your home, your workplace, or your community—this one’s for you, friend.
