We stop being ashamed on the Gospel, we still do the ministry stuff we did before but with a different spirit for a different reason. We do it to love God and our neighbor, not just to grow our attendance. We abandon our reliance on relevance. Chapter 8: 19. Why did the worship change in the podcast story?

Imagine grace, truth, and faith planting itself in your core and broadening its roots to your relationships and interactions with every person in your life. As these bleed into your life, your family as the core teaching and discipling center will grow and be an example to all the families in your neighborhood." 25.
