Welcome to Andrew Womick Recorded Live, a weekly podcast featuring Andrew's latest live teaching sessions,

along with his other classic teachings through the years. And now here's Andrew.

I've been talking about how to be a success. God created us to be a success, but I've spent so much time trying to redefine what success is. And basically, to me, Romans 12, 1 and 2 summarizes what success is. And it's just knowing God, it's being a living sacrifice, and then you renew
