ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
What does it really mean to do good works? Are they just random acts of kindness, or is there something deeper—something God designed us for?
Join hosts Josh Hudson and Mark Ogles each week as they dive into what the Bible says about good works, drawing from Scripture and insights from their book, Made4Good: A Good Works Study. With engaging conversation, practical takeaways, and a touch of humor, Josh and Mark explore how we are created, redeemed, and equipped to serve for God’s glory.
From Ephesians 2:10 to Matthew 5:16, they unpack how good works aren’t about earning salvation—but living out the faith we’ve been given. Expect thought-provoking discussions, real-life applications, and encouragement to step boldly into the purpose God has prepared for you.
Whether you're looking for inspiration, biblical wisdom, or just a reminder that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58)—this podcast is for you.
So grab a cup of coffee, open your Bible, and join us as we discover what it means to be Made4Good.
