Summary

We have a special guest in the studio, which means you already know this episode is going to be a wild mix of wisdom, honesty, and chaos. Pastor Craig, Pastor Hal, Pastor Daryl, and Melissa dive deep into one of the most challenging parts of following Jesus: serving — not just in church, but in our everyday relationships. This week, the pastors unpack your biggest questions from Pastor Daryl’s message in At the Table: What if I love Jesus but don’t feel called to serve in a ministry? What about burnout? Is it possible to serve too much? How do you serve with joy instead of exhaustion? How do I know if I’m serving humbly or just people-pleasing? Why is it so hard to let people help me? Why can I serve strangers easily… but struggle to serve my own family? Foot-washing in church — should we bring it back?? If you’ve ever wrestled with serving, struggled with burnout, or wondered why Jesus cared so much about towels and basins, this episode will challenge, encourage, and maybe even convict you (lovingly). Pull up a chair. The table is ready. 🧼🦶✨
