## Resource

Chuck Wood II and I talk about the two main traps we can fall into, thinking we’re being productive for the Kingdom. Quotes: In modern knowledge work, and it can also be true in ministry, there's a lot of things that we don't actually have an accurate, real measurement of how they might contribute to the bottom line. I think a lot of our results are measured by obedience versus outcome. Did I spend time with Jesus in the Word and prayer? Did I share the gospel? Did I practice my gift? Those kind of things, those are obedience-based versus results-based. Season 9: On Pioneering/How to Stick, Episode 10 This is a public episode.
