26: Reclaiming Ambition & Stepping Into the Arena Living Lighter

    • Christianity

Does the word “ambition” have a negative connotation for you? I know it has for me in the past. But why? Today we’re talking about why we as Christians should totally feel comfortable reclaiming that word. Yes, we need to live lighter – but I’m not talking about “hustle culture” ambition. I’m talking about doing what you love most, and doing it well. As you’ll see in this episode, the Bible clearly tells us to run our race well (and friend, that doesn’t just happen by accident!) We get the opportunity to live our lives to the fullest we can on this side of eternity. Let’s step into the arena together!
In this episode you’ll hear: 
💖 Why we should reclaim the word “ambition”
💖 Choosing to run the race instead of simply watching
💖 Leaving the legacy you want for your family
