Joy and Rest for Those Who Serve | S6:E8

What does it mean to serve God out of grace rather than striving? In this episode, Jim Lovelady talks with Joel Hylton about how the gospel frees us from self-reliance and sends us into the world as priests of God’s Kingdom. Together, they explore the mystery of belonging to Christ, holding joy and sorrow in tension, and finding rest in the One who loves us and has set us free by His blood. This is a conversation about hope, calling, and the beautiful freedom of serving from grace—not for it.
