Optimized Part 1

Jun 20, 2025    Pete Pawelek

At the heart of the Christian life is a Christ-centered focus—where Jesus is not simply a part of our lives, but the very foundation and purpose behind everything we do. In this episode, Pastor Pete turns to Philippians 3 to show that living a Christ-centered life means allowing Jesus’ love, teachings, and example to shape our thoughts, guide our decisions, and influence every relationship. It’s a daily act of surrender to His lordship, trusting in His grace, and walking in faithful obedience to His Word.


Rather than being driven by personal ambition or the values of the world, the Christ-centered believer seeks to glorify God in all things—reflecting the character of Christ, serving others with humility, and living with an eternal perspective. This kind of life is a journey of transformation, where Christ is not only our Savior but also our constant companion and ultimate goal.
