A Lifestyle of Worship -- Romans 12

This episode of the Preview Podcast introduces the upcoming small group lesson in Romans 12, highlighting Paul’s shift from the theology-heavy first 11 chapters to practical, application-driven living. Evan and Justin explain how Romans 12 flows from the doxology at the end of chapter 11, calling believers to respond to God’s mercy by presenting their bodies as living sacrifices and viewing all of life as worship, not just Sunday singing. They discuss resisting conformity to the world through the renewing of the mind, emphasizing biblical literacy, discernment, and testing teachings against Scripture. The conversation also addresses humility and spiritual gifts, stressing that every role in the church matters and that believers should serve others, honor one another, and let love for God overflow into loving neighbors.
