Success and Service

from Starting Right · host DannyMac

God isn’t waiting for us to push the right prayer button so blessings fall out. We open with a bracing reminder that the Lord often builds His kingdom through people, which means your choices, your work, and your generosity matter more than you think.We walk through an Old Testament pattern that still shows up today: some people do the direct ministry work of teaching and leading, and others make that work possible by supplying resources. That support is not second-tier spirituality. It’s part of how God keeps the mission moving, whether it’s a church, a missionary, a local outreach, or any Christian ministry that needs steady, faithful funding.Then we tell the remarkable story of R. G. LeTourneau, born in 1888, a 14-year-old dropout who became one of history’s great inventors in earthmoving machinery. His life is a powerful example of faith and work coming together, guided by Matthew 6:33 and a simple posture: seek God first, then say a big yes. LeTourneau called God the chairman of the board, gave generously through a foundation, and lived convinced he could not outgive God, all while using his business success to spread the gospel and support Christian work around the world.If you’ve been questioning your calling, or wondering whether your job can be part of God’s plan, this is your five-minute reset.
