Episode 290 - Step 12. The Vocation: Helping Others
Made for Mondays
Host (Heather):
Welcome to Made for Mondays—the podcast where we explore ways to bring Sunday’s message into our everyday lives. Who’s joining me today?
Guests (Jamey, Joe, and RaChelle):
Hey everyone!
Host:
This week is a big one—we’re wrapping up our Steps series, all 12 steps, and it lands on Palm Sunday…which feels pretty fitting.
But before we jump in—how was everyone’s weekend? Anybody get outside and enjoy the weather?

SUNDAY DISH
Host:
So today we’re holding two things together—Palm Sunday and the close of our Steps journey.
We see a crowd celebrating Jesus for who they think He is…while He’s actually moving toward the cross. And at the same time, we’re talking about what it looks like to not just experience change—but actually live it out.
Q1 – Wrapping the Journey
Jamey, as you closed out this series—what felt most important for you to leave with people?
Q2 – Step 12: Outward Movement
Step 12 shifts from internal transformation to outward impact.
Why is helping others such a critical part of the process?
Follow-up:
What happens if someone stops at personal healing but never moves outward?
Why is helping others actually part of staying healthy?
Q3 – Palm Sunday Tension
On Palm Sunday, the crowd had expectations of Jesus that didn’t match reality.
Where do you see that same tension in our lives today?
Follow-up:
Where do we want a “different version” of Jesus?
How does that impact our willingness to follow Him fully?
Q4 – “Give It Away to Keep It”
If this is our Year of Practice, Step 12 feels less like an ending and more like a beginning.
Jamey, you said, you have to give it away to keep it.
Where have you seen that play out in real life—especially when someone feels like they have nothing left to give?
Q5 – Self-Improvement vs Surrender
What are some red flags that following Jesus has quietly turned into a self-improvement plan?
Follow-up:
What would it look like for a church to measure maturity less by what it consumes—and more by who it’s serving?
Q6 – The Power of Remembering
One of the most powerful moments this week was communion.
How does remembering what Jesus has done shape how we live?
Follow-up:
Why is remembering essential to spiritual formation?
What happens when we drift from it?
Q7 – Practicing Through Holy Week
This week we step into Holy Week—24-hour prayer and Good Friday.
How do these moments help us practice instead of just move on?
Follow-up:
What would you say to someone who’s never done something like the 24-hour prayer experience?
Why does intentional space with God matter?
What have you experienced there that’s different from a typical Sunday?
Q8 – Staying the Course
After a season like this, it’s easy to drift.
Where do people tend to slip back into o
