In this clip from the Building Excellence podcast with Bailey Miles, Randy shares how his faith grew following his conversion.

Throughout history Christians have understood that in 1 Samuel 15 (and similar passages), God accommodates His language so that we can better understand Him. To say He “regrets” making Saul king is to communicate powerfully that He grieves over sin.

Success is measured differently in the eyes of God. For sure what He values most is not what people call success, but what God Himself calls faithfulness: “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2).

If you are working a “secular” job, you are not second class in God’s Kingdom. You are no less called or gifted than a pastor or a missionary. Your ministry is to represent Jesus in your own sphere of influence.
