About this episode
Are you tired of performing for a God who already loves you?
In this episode, W. Austin Gardner shares a raw and transformative look at Ephesians 3. If you have ever felt like your relationship with God depends on your performance, your prayer life, or your "good behavior," this message will change your perspective.
W. Austin Gardner—international speaker, author, and mentor with over 50 years of ministry experience—breaks down the "paycheck mentality" that keeps believers stuck in spiritual exhaustion. Discover what it truly means to be "rooted and grounded" in a love that you don't have to earn.
In this episode, W. Austin Gardner discusses:
- The difference between "working for" love and "resting in" love.
- Why the foundation of your faith is a finished work, not a project.
- Practical ways to experience God’s love rather than just studying it.
- Lessons from 5 decades of missionary and pastoral leadership.
