In this first episode of Gospel Life, Mark Fodale reminds us to keep the Gospel at the center, looking at Paul’s joy in Philippians 1 even from prison.

Mark shows us that Gospel love means loving the people right next to us, the ones God has placed in our lives.

Mark reminds us that our to-do lists can easily eclipse the people right in front of us and calls us to love our neighbors more than our lists.

Mark challenges us to look past our to-do lists and see what’s really behind them: the call to love God and love our neighbor in everything we do.

Mark helps us see that because of the Gospel, obedience isn’t something we have to do, it’s something we get to do.

Mark reminds us that time in God’s Word is an invitation, not a demand. It’s something we get to do, not something we have to do.

Mark asks a simple but important question: what’s your goal when you open the Bible? He reminds us that time in God’s Word is first about seeing His beauty, not checking boxes or learning facts.

Mark reminds us that in God’s kingdom, real life is found in giving it away. When we pour ourselves out for others, we discover the joy and strength that only the gospel can supply.
