Money is merely a means by which we assign value to things. But when God gets a hold of our hearts, it becomes a tool for worship and warfare. In this episode, we'll dive into a biblical exploration on investing money for the Kingdom of God and see the joy of leveraging lesser treasures for the greatest One.

In our culture, serving is often seen as weakness. But that's a mistake. Because when you serve you're doing something that has the power to make a massive difference in the world, it actually advances the glorious will of God Himself into our dark reality through our humble activity. What a gift! Today's episode is called serve, and to see that you are NEVER more powerful than when you kneel down to serve. To understand this there need to know why two men named Johann and David were WILLINGLY chained up.

This is the first of a four part series for those interested in getting involved with the Garden. We're asking everyone joining out launch team to gather, serve, invest, and give. Already close to 70 people have joined the team--which means these are things you do too. These aren't commitments of varsity level Christians but everyday the ordinary steps of a normal Christian. We hope these episodes help you turn your convictions into action and give you a biblical framework for living out your faith in Jesus.

The mission of God is too big for the Gospel to be advanced by a personality on a platform. To impact eternity we need an army. The mission demands a multitude of servant leaders to roll their sleeves up. 

This isn't our idea, it's the vision of Scripture. The Bible paints this picture of an army of servants ALL being filled and equipped for God's mission. 

In this Episode, you'll hear the biblical bases for an army of God's people to advance the mission in West Valley.
