Loving God. Loving People‪.‬ Sun Valley Community Church

Megan Fate Marshman talks with Robert about how we can practice spiritual growth in and outside of church. In a rapidly changing world, we must find the balance between adapting and practicing consistency. God wants us to create margin to spend time with Him and connect with others. When we make God the main character in our lives, He helps us to learn, give, and receive through our unique gifts. We find rest and motivation for our souls when we aim to look like Jesus.

God wants us to receive His blessings and strive toward our goals, but the enemy wants us never to have “enough.” The lie is that we’ll find satisfaction in the next thing we add to our orbit. The key to contentment is gratitude, not gratification. Through gratitude, we can use what we have to reap generosity and influence in our lives. No matter who you are or what your life looks like, you have something to be grateful for.

We often spend our time looking for the "secret" to financial freedom. But the truth is that it's not a mystery; it's just math. Do you know where your money is going? The wisdom of Proverbs can teach us how to manage our money in a way that honors God and improves our lives. Money management isn't about gaining more, but about what we do with what we have. Over time, we can use our finances to build our goals with purpose.

Is money really the root of all evil? How does God want us to honor Him with our finances? The Bible gives us the wisdom to use money as the blessing God intends for us. When we acknowledge that our money and possessions are entrusted to us by God, we see that giving fulfills our purpose. Money is never the source of our happiness, but it can enrich our lives when we steward it with faith.

Pastor Chad and Robert discuss three types of people in Proverbs and how we can apply wisdom as we follow Jesus. Worldly agendas can distract us from God's path for us, and we need humility to embrace His guidance. When we commit to consistently pursuing wisdom, we practice habits that bring us closer to God and help our lives to flourish. There is always more we can learn from the Bible to know how to lead with love.

Justin Martz joins the podcast for this two-part Q&A, with questions asked by our audience. It can seem like the Bible leaves a lot up to interpretation, especially when we apply it to our current culture. So how do we follow Jesus intentionally as we navigate the confusions in our daily lives? The more we seek answers, the more we can learn about who God is and the plan He has for us. 

In this episode, Justin and Robert tackle these questions:
3:30 - Do you fear God, and is God meant to be feared?
13:10 - What do you do when you're in a spiritual rut?
17:10 - How do you live in this cultural moment as a Christian?
22:50 - I want to start reading the Bible; where do I start?
