What is Ministry, Really?
<p><strong>Abide Series Podcast</strong></p><p><strong>Episode 1: What Is Ministry?</strong></p><p>So many of us use the phrase "my ministry," but what if ministry was never meant to be something we own?</p><p>In this opening episode of the Abide Series, PD Sue explores the difference between viewing ministry as a platform and understanding ministry as service. Drawing from the example of Jesus and the story of Mary and Martha, this conversation challenges us to move from striving to abiding, from building our own agendas to joining God in His.</p><p>Ministry does not begin with what we do—it begins with who we are becoming in Christ.</p><p>As we learn to sit at Jesus' feet, listen for His voice, and follow His leading, we discover that true ministry flows from abiding in Him.</p><p>In This Episode</p><p>Why the phrase "my ministry" can sometimes lead us astray</p><p>The biblical meaning of ministry and what it means to be a servant</p><p>How Jesus modeled ministry through humility and obedience</p><p>The connection between abiding and serving</p><p>Why ministry starts at Jesus' feet before it ever reaches a platform</p><p>Letting go of outcomes and trusting God to bring the increase</p><p>Key Scriptures</p><p>Mark 10:45</p><p>Luke 10:38–42</p><p>John 8:28</p><p>John 15:4–5</p><p>1 Corinthians 3:6–7</p><p>Reflection Questions</p><p>Do I see ministry as something I own or something I steward?</p><p>Am I asking God to bless my plans, or am I seeking His plans?</p><p>What would it look like for me to begin each day at Jesus' feet before serving others?</p><p>Where might God be inviting me to trust Him with the outcomes?</p><p>Prayer</p><p>Father, teach me to abide before I act, to listen before I lead, and to serve without seeking recognition. Help me remember that ministry belongs to You and that my role is simply to remain connected to the Vine. May my life make Jesus known and bring glory to Your name. Amen.</p><p>Connect</p><p>If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing to the Abide Series and sharing it with a friend.

🌿 What Does My Worship Cost Me?
<p><strong>What Does My Worship Cost Me?</strong></p><p>John 12:1–19</p><p>What does true worship actually look like—and what does it cost?</p><p>In this episode, we step into a powerful moment in Bethany where Mary pours out an extravagant offering at the feet of Jesus. While her act of devotion is deeply personal and sacrificial, it also exposes a tension in the room—revealing contrasting heart postures through the responses of Judas and the surrounding crowd.</p><p>We explore how worship is not just about what we give, but how we respond. From Mary’s surrender, to Judas’ critique, to the crowd’s expectations of Jesus as King, this passage invites us to examine our own posture and ask an honest question:</p><p><strong>How am I responding to Jesus?</strong></p><p>✨ <strong>In This Episode</strong></p><p>The significance of Mary’s act of costly worship</p><p>The contrast between devotion and criticism (Mary vs. Judas)</p><p>How worship reveals what’s happening in our hearts</p><p>Lazarus as a living testimony of transformation</p><p>The crowd’s expectations of Jesus—and how they differ from His true mission</p><p>📖 <strong>Scripture</strong></p><p>John 12:1–19</p><p><strong>How am I responding to Jesus?</strong></p><p>✨ <strong>In This Episode</strong></p><p>The significance of Mary’s act of costly worship</p><p>The contrast between devotion and criticism (Mary vs. Judas)</p><p>How worship reveals what’s happening in our hearts</p><p>Lazarus as a living testimony of transformation</p><p>The crowd’s expectations of Jesus—and how they differ from His true mission</p><p>📖 <strong>Scripture</strong></p><p>John 12:1–19</p><p>💭 <strong>Reflection Questions</strong></p><p>What stands out to you about Mary’s act of worship?</p><p>Where might you be holding back in your devotion to Jesus?</p><p>Do you find yourself responding more like Mary, Judas, or the crowd?</p><p>What might it cost you to respond more fully to Jesus this week?</p><p>🤍 <strong>Key Takeaway</strong></p><p>Worship isn’t just about what we offer—it reveals our heart.</p><p>Mary surrendered.Judas calculated.The crowd expected.</p><p>How are you responding to Jesus?</p><p>🌿 <strong>Stay Connected</strong></p><p>Join us as we continue walking through the Gospel of John together in SALT and DAWN.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Deeper Church Women's Newsletter at <a href="https://dawn360.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">dawn360.substack.com/subscribe</a>
