Summary

We’re looking at a life of goodness in today’s Cultivate podcast. If you already feel disqualified or like you’ve totally missed that “good” mark you’re exactly who I hope will join me. Scripture is really interesting on the topic of goodness because in Romans Paul quotes the Old Testament by saying that no one is good, not even one. And yet he’s also the one who teaches us that we’re to display the fruit of goodness and that we’re created for good works. So which is it? In today’s episode we’re going to find out that it’s both. While we’re not saved by our good works, we’re definitely saved for good works. And the very grace that saves us is the same grace that fuels a life of goodness that doesn’t always come naturally to us. You were created for good works, and not only that, God prepared certain good works for you to do! I’m so excited about this episode as we dive into Ephesians 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:1-5, and Ephesians 2:8-10. My prayer is that you’ll find freedom from guilt and discouragement, and lean into God’s grace for the all the good He has in store for you.

0:50.3	Yeah. Access more. Welcome to the Cultivate Podcast. My name is Kelly Minter, and I am so delighted to be sitting with you at my kitchen table.
0:59.5	Now, most of the time I am at my dining room table, which is just kind of in the next room over.
1:05.8	It's not a fancy, formal dining room. But that's where I kind of sit. And I like to sit there. It's just kind of
1:12.4	in the place where this podcast was started at. And I love being at that table. But my neighbors
1:20.0	are building a fence. And so the nerve. I mean, the nerve on Cultivate Podcast Recording Day. And so I can't sit right there because
1:30.3	that is where the fence is really close to. And so I'm actually in my kitchen right now. I am
1:37.2	sitting at my kitchen island. I am looking at the sink. And it is somewhat, I don't know, well, I was going to say uninspiring,
1:48.9	but it's okay, it's okay in here. In fact, what I kind of want is that you would just pull up
1:52.9	a chair to my kitchen island. I am sitting here with a mug of hot tea. It is hot outside
2:00.6	right now, but I am just trying to will fall along. And so I think
2:05.4	maybe if I just torture myself with hot tea, it will bring the cool weather here. But yeah, so anyway,
2:11.5	I'm in my kitchen today. And it's funny because the people at access more, the ones who
2:16.2	produce this podcast, they are so, they are so kind and
