Do What You Saw in Me | Philippians 4:9

Paul says one of the boldest sentences in the New Testament in this verse. And almost nobody quotes it. He says — do what you saw in me. Most modern teachers shrink from a sentence like that. Paul does not.

Four verbs in order. Learned. Received. Heard. Saw. Saw is the bridge between content and embodiment. Discipleship is not finished when the teaching is done. It is finished when the watching is done.

That is a very specific kind of pastoral courage. The courage to be watched. The team you lead is being discipled by what they see in you, whether you meant it or not.

Anchored in Philippians 4:9. Episode 7 of the Philippians season.

Formation to Transformation is a daily worship devotional for worship leaders, worship pastors, musicians, audio engineers, lighting directors, ProPresenter operators, camera ops, and the whole worship team.
