375: Living With Purpose: Putting God First in an Upside-Down World
What does it really mean to put God first — and why does it matter so much in a culture that tells us to prioritise ourselves? In this solo episode, Rohan Bell launches a new series by unpacking the Ten Commandments and showing how true peace, clarity, and purpose flow from gratitude, not striving.
👀 What you’ll discover in this episode...
✅ 📖 Why prioritising God is a response to grace, not a way to earn favour

✅ 🔄 What the “upside-down kingdom” looks like in a self-focused world
✅ 💰 How modern idols like sex, money, and power still shape our lives
✅ 🧭 A practical framework (C.O.D.E.) for reading and applying biblical laws

🙋♂️ Reflection and Application
