ANECDOTE

Dad's Worship Set The Tone

  • Pastor Joby recounts how his father's worship and example 'caught the fire' and shaped him.
  • He worries more about passing that fire to his children than his public disciple-making successes.
ADVICE

Dig For The Root, Not Just The Weeds

  • Locate the root 'wound' or seed causing sinful patterns and remove it so fruit of the Spirit can grow.
  • Use self-discovery not as blame but to expose and remove weeds choking spiritual growth.
ADVICE

Be Salty Where You Are

  • Say 'Yes' to being sent and let your everyday role carry salt and light into your context.
  • Be distinct in your workplace, home, and vocation so your environment notices God's difference.
