Ep 63 | In the World, Not of It with Steve Prince

What does the Bible really mean when it talks about “the world”? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into the difference between “the earth” and “the world” from a biblical standpoint. From understanding what Scripture says about loving the world to what it means to gain the whole world but lose your soul, this episode will challenge how you think about your daily life, priorities, and purpose. Steve shares personal reflections on eternal investments, living out your faith in the business world, and the real ROI of seeking God’s Kingdom first. We also discuss the tension of being in the world but not of it, how to boldly share the gospel, and the importance of spiritual restoration before mission. Whether you’re a Christian navigating your calling or someone curious about what the Bible says about culture, purpose, and eternity, this episode will encourage and equip you to live with Kingdom focus in a worldly age.***CHAPTERS***(0:00) Episode Preview(1:00) Podcast Intro (1:25) This Week's Topic: The World (3:03) What God Calls "The Earth" vs "The World"(5:00) Where "The World" is mentioned in Scriptures(6:58) Don't Love the Stuff of this World(8:42) What you talk about says a lot about you(9:52) Christian Businessmen (10:39) Steve's response to: "Gain the Whole World, but Forfeit their Soul"(14:03) Eternal Investments(16:47) ROI on "Seek First the Kingdom"(19:02) Steve's Bonus Round in Life (20:14) Friend of the World = Enemy of God(21:59) Sharing the Gospel with unbelievers is an act of Love(26:33) Different Gifts of the Spirit: Street Ministry(28:34) Excuses to not share the Gospel(30:27) Be IN the World but not OF the world (32:1)4 We need to be Restored to go back out into the World(35:15) Closing Thoughts (36:30) Signing Out 700 36th St SE, Suite 108,Grand Rapids, Mi 49548 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]
