What does it mean to give, pray, and fast in a way that pleases God rather than seeking the praise of people? Chris unpacks the often-overlooked sin of&nbsp;<strong>vainglory<\/strong>, explains why Jesus emphasizes secrecy in spiritual disciplines, and explores the Bible\u2019s surprising and repeated teaching about&nbsp;<strong>rewards<\/strong>\u2014both in heaven and in this life. This episode examines how our motives shape our spiritual lives and why believing that God \u201crewards those who seek Him\u201d is central to authentic Christian faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also hear an update about the Joyful Hearts Home orphanage project in Kenya, which Chris White Ministries supports.
