Summary
Romans 15: 20-21 - and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation, 21 but as it is written, “Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.”

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, my friends. I want to welcome you back to the morning mindset on this weekend edition. |
| 0:13.5 | I'm so thankful you're listening on the weekend. And I want to say a special thank you to people in Uruguay, |
| 0:20.3 | people in Botswana, people over in Japan, and people in Turkey |
| 0:26.2 | and Iran. I'm so thankful that you're all listening. My stats dashboard shows me that there are people |
| 0:32.0 | in those countries who are listening. Thank you for listening. And more than that, thank you for being a part of |
| 0:37.3 | what God is doing in your part of the world. |
| 0:39.1 | I would love to hear from you about what he's doing. You can send me an email. |
| 0:43.3 | Carrie C-A-R-E-Y at Carriegreen.com. I would love to hear your situation, who you are, what your family's like, how I can be praying for you. |

| 1:35.3 | and thus, so in other words, because it's God who's doing the work in me and through me, |
| 1:41.4 | and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already |
| 1:48.0 | been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation. But as it is written, and here he's going to |
| 1:53.9 | quote the Old Testament, those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard |
| 2:00.6 | will understand. |
| 2:03.4 | Paul's ambition, did you hear that? He's talking about his deep desires, his longings, |
