The Test You're Already Taking (Ambassador for Christ)

Click here to send Ryan a text message!Ep. #390Learn what it means to be an ambassador for Christ at work, online, and under pressure—without compromise.What does an ambassador actually do? They represent the interests, values, and message of their King in a culture that doesn’t share those values. In this Bible study, we walk through what it means to be Christ’s ambassador (2 Corinthians 5:20)—and how integrity gets tested when the “bribe” shows up: money, promotion, approval, comfort, or secrecy.We also talk about the Bema Seat (2 Corinthians 5:10) and why God evaluates more than outcomes—He evaluates motives, character, and faith demonstrated through everyday obedience. This isn’t just about church ministry. Your job, your home, your relationships, your reactions under stress, and even your digital life all tell the world who you represent.Watch this episode on YouTubeHowToGrowYourFaith.com >> Learn the 5 Biggest Mistakes Christians Make In Their Walk With God (and how you can avoid them!)Sharable Episode Links (scroll down or search for this episode):Ryan's Website Buzzsprout Link MORE FROM RYAN:FREE DOWNLOAD: 21 Days to a Spirit-Led Life Subscribe on YouTubeTwitter | Instagram | LinkedInSubmit a question or topic for the podcast at ryanshoward.com/contactSupport the show
