How do you define success? Don't use this episode as your standard for success. Wesley is out because he doesn't feel well; Jordan is out because of his newborn baby. But Jeremy and TJ give it their best shot.
Today's focus is how God defines success versus how the world defines it. The world looks to Bill Gates who was recently named the richest man in the world (or richest world in the man if you listen to TJ). He is a man who built a business from nothing to a global enterprise. He is the epitome of success and is using his wealth to accomplish some wonderful things.
But when we look for examples of success in Scripture, we can look to Noah, a man who did not convince anyone to join him on the boat; John the Baptist, who died speaking out against Herod but did not see him come to repentance; or Jesus who was betrayed by one of His closest friends.
Much like this episode, we must learn to do the preparation, put in the work, but trust God with the results. The next episodes we leave biblical examples and look to men and women who spent their lives working for the kingdom of God and would be considered failures by the world standard, but were definitely successful in God's view.
