What does biblical success actually look like? In this episode, Pastor Nate Brown, Pastor Daniel Hayworth, and Pastor Josh Brown tackle one of the most culturally distorted topics: success, ambition, and stewardship.

This is episode 7 in the Point of View series, where we examine major life topics through the lens of Scripture. Using Romans 12:2 as the foundation—"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind"—the hosts explore the story of Haman from Esther Chapter 3 as a cautionary tale about selfish ambition.

You'll hear how Solomon, despite achieving everything the world calls success, ultimately concluded it was all "chasing the wind" without God at the center. The conversation covers the dangerous ditches of laziness and workaholism, explaining how faithfulness creates the middle lane Christians should pursue.

✅ You'll discover:

The difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition

How Haman's pursuit of honor led to his destruction

Why work becomes worship when done for the Lord (Colossians 3:23 )

The importance of anchoring your ambition in God's assignment

How to avoid the twin dangers of laziness and workaholism

Perfect for your morning commute or workout, this episode equips you with biblical confidence to define success God's way. The hosts reference key passages including Romans 12:2, Esther Chapter 3, Ecclesiastes, Colossians 3:23 , and Philippians 3:12-14.
