Disciples Making Disciples // A Life Well Spent

Kyle Kauffman | Jun 29 2025 The Poet C.T. Studd once famously said, “Only one life,’ twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.” No one sets out to waste their lives. And yet there are all sorts of ways we can end up wasting our them. We all want to spend our lives well. But sometimes we never even slow down to ask, What does a life well spent look like? In Acts 20, we get Paul’s farewell speech to leaders of the Ephesian church. As we listen in to these passionate last words of Paul to this small group of men, we get a glimpse of what a life spent well looks like. We see what the greatest passion of Paul’s life was and how that got worked out into the ways he lived. And we find direction for what it means to spend our lives well rather than wasting them.
