Key Takeaways:

The mundane has been a consistent theme woven throughout this podcast
God is King of the ordinary as much as the extraordinary
God’s goal isn’t to exterminate the mundane, but to fill it with significance
Jesus didn’t float around the earth: He slept and ate and paid taxes just like we do
We should look expectantly for what God will do, not only during a mission trip or the start of a new job, but in the everyday rhythms of life
