This episode takes on one of the most common reasons people stop going to church: "I don't get anything out of it." Many walk through the doors expecting to be filled, inspired, or entertained—only to leave feeling unchanged. But what if church was never meant to be about what we get? Drawing from Philippians 2:4, this episode challenges the mindset of consumer Christianity and explores how fulfillment comes not from being served, but from serving others. Research on purpose and well-being shows that people who give, volunteer, or contribute regularly experience greater happiness and connection than those who focus solely on personal gain. When we shift from asking "What did I get out of it?" to "What did I give?", we transform the entire experience. Church becomes less of a spiritual vending machine and more of a living community where encouragement, service, and humility open the door to genuine joy. This episode invites listeners to see Sunday not as a transaction, but as an opportunity—to show up with an open heart, give of themselves, and rediscover the true purpose of gathering together.
