Join Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Alyssa Bream for today's episode of One Single Story as they explore the challenges of performance-driven religion and how to keep good deeds from becoming a show.

Scripture Focus: Matthew 6:1-24 (Sermon on the Mount) - Jesus addresses performance-driven religion and reframes how we approach generosity, prayer, and fasting.

In This Episode:

• The difference between babbling prayers and persistent, sincere prayer
• Why motive matters more than method in spiritual practices
• Distinguishing between public faith and performance faith
• How generosity breaks the grip of greed and selfishness

Key Quote: "I think the key has to be we have to do more in secret than we do in public."
