This is so honest. Thank you PN for always leading in vulnerability. I’m reading Emotional Healthy Discipleship rn and just read about how our desire for greatness must be crucified and how subtle and unconscious this desire can be in us. We all want to do well but we have to constantly check our heart and ask if our ambitions are truly all for the glory of God or partially for our own glory.
I'm glad this was helpful. I'm a huge fan of Peter Scazzero! You're right, our ambitions and motives have to be evaluated by the Holy Spirit on a regular basis. It's so easy to unknowingly drift. Thanks for reading!
I would have never said it, but for a long time it was about “winning”. Wanting to be the best, to distinguish myself from others. Buts it’s truly about the people you love and serve.
Good work Nathan. The words of John the Baptist come to mind on this topic, "He must increase, but I must decrease." - John 3:30. Preach it brother.
Amen...Jesus is the main event!

“It was about Jesus, and the people he’d call me to shepherd.” This has been ringing in my heart. It is a needed daily reminder for my life.
