Operational Excellence Part 2: Seven Practical Ways to Honor God Daily | Under God Podcast Episode 210

In this powerful continuation of their operational excellence series, Pastor Nathan Brown and Pastor Keegan Sidhu provide Christians with a comprehensive biblical framework for pursuing excellence in every area of life. Building on Part 1's foundation that God is excellent and calls us to excellence, this episode delivers seven practical applications with supporting Scripture.

The conversation begins with work excellence (Proverbs 22:29), using David's selection as Saul's musician to illustrate how skill opens kingdom doors. The pastors then explore excellence in relationships through Christ's new commandment (John 13:34-35), emphasizing how love within the church serves as a powerful witness.

A particularly compelling segment addresses spiritual growth (2 Timothy 2:15), where both pastors challenge the common complaint of "not being fed" at church. Pastor Keegan's restaurant analogy brilliantly illustrates personal responsibility in spiritual development, while Pastor Nate shares his transformative journey back to ministry after his father challenged him to first pastor his own family.

The episode culminates with practical wisdom about time and resource management (Ephesians 5:15), including the convicting truth that your checkbook and calendar reveal your true values.
