Incapacitated

In this episode of the In the Red Podcast, host Anthony Hart explores the concept of capacity, encompassing not just physical capacity but also mental, emotional, and spiritual capacity. Anthony shares his realization that while their church property has ample physical space, limited capacity in other areas is holding them back from fully utilizing it.

 

Drawing on biblical parables and personal examples, he illustrates how our mindsets, emotions, and spiritual states can either limit or expand our ability to grow. The main takeaway is that focusing solely on physical growth without addressing internal capacities is futile. To truly expand, we must first work on increasing our mental, emotional, and spiritual capacities.
