Redefining Success: A God-Centric Lifestyle | Ep. 101

In this episode of Order Within, we explore the shortcomings of modern definitions of success that focus on material wealth and power. Drawing inspiration from the Old Testament, we discuss the importance of living a God-centered life and how it contrasts with societal values. 

By prioritizing service to others, kindness, and spiritual values over the relentless pursuit of money, we can find true fulfillment. Join me on this journey to redefine success and embrace a life aligned with God's vision.
