When serving in ministry, we are often clear on the “what” behind the mission we are trying to accomplish and the "how" behind achieving our ministry objectives. Ironically, we can often forget the "why" behind the ministry we do. The purpose of "Grace Church Members" podcast is to discuss discipleship practices in the life of our church and help our congregation to think about why we do the things we do. We hope each episode challenges our members to be more fully devoted to God and his mission of making disciples.
