Own the Mission

<p>Got any excuses for not volunteering at church? This week we&#39;re calling out ten of the most common ones—and why they don&#39;t hold up.</p><p>Church was never meant to be a spectator sport. Every believer is part of a &quot;royal priesthood,&quot; called to serve, not just the naturally gifted or &quot;super spiritual&quot; ones. We also dig into the difference between showing up like a customer versus showing up like an owner, and why all that scripture and teaching you&#39;ve soaked in isn&#39;t the finish line—it&#39;s fuel. Being fed is only half the story. The real goal is learning to cook.</p><p>Whether your excuse is feeling unqualified, carrying past hurt, or just being busy, we&#39;re tackling it head-on. Healing doesn&#39;t happen in isolation—it happens in community. And here&#39;s a truth that might flip your thinking: God doesn&#39;t call the equipped. He equips the called.</p><p>You can&#39;t be fully committed to Christ while staying on the sidelines of His church. Time to get in the game.</p>
