Episode notes
ADVICE

Depend On God And Act Humbly

  • Rely on God for gifts but act: nothing is received unless given from heaven and we must decrease while Christ increases.
  • He uses John 3:27 and John the Baptist's words to stress dependence plus humble activity.
ADVICE

Be An Active Member In Your Local Church

  • Do not neglect church membership because the local church provides encouragement, accountability, and places to serve others.
  • Wilmore recounts teaching his daughters responsibility and calling his pastor to help when they slacked while he was deployed.
ADVICE

Center Life On The Great Commission

  • Prioritize the Great Commission: go make disciples, baptize, and teach obedience because Jesus has all authority and promises presence.
  • Wilmore reads Matthew 28 to remind listeners of the clear command and Christ's abiding presence.
