I really think that if we are focused on the why and that it's not all about us and bettering ourselves and focusing on other people, something divine happens, and it's almost as if you've become your own instrument into being an instrument in the hands of the lord, and people feel that.
What drives you to do good? Is it for praise, or is it from a place of genuine care? In this episode of 'Stepping Into Freedom', Michael R. Hicks sits down with host Paul Pulsipher to discuss the importance of having the right motivation behind our actions.
Michael, a musician and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, shares his journey of learning to serve with a pure heart and the profound impact it has had on his life and those around him. Drawing from personal experiences and teachings from church leaders, Michael offers practical tips on how to focus on the 'why' behind our good deeds.
He emphasizes that when we act out of love and selflessness, we become instruments in the hands of the Lord, capable of bringing about divine outcomes. Michael recounts a pivotal moment during his mission when he realized that performing music was not about seeking admiration but about bringing the spirit to others and helping them come closer to Christ. Throughout the episode, Michael highlights the correlation between serving others and becoming more like Christ.
He shares valuable lessons from his time in church service, underscoring the joy and fulfillment that come from having the right motives. Michael also warns about the dangers of wrong motivations, sharing a cautionary tale of a friend who lost sight of her true purpose while managing a door-to-door sales company. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of what it means to do good for the right reasons.
Michael's insights and experiences provide listeners with practical advice on how to align their actions with their faith and values. Whether you're looking to deepen your spiritual journey or simply seeking inspiration to live a more selfless life, this conversation offers a wealth of wisdom and encouragement.
