When free time finally opens up, where does your heart go by default? In this episode, Ryan Swanson opens Philippians 2 and challenges us to exchange self-serving patterns for the humble, intentional service modeled by Christ. Ask God who you can serve this week, and let the mind of Christ reshape what you reach for first.
