When you hear the word worship, what comes to mind?

Maybe you picture standing in church on Sunday morning, singing with your hands raised. Perhaps you think about prayer, reading Scripture, or verbally praising God. All of these are beautiful expressions of worship—but worship was never meant to be confined to a church service.

Our entire lives can become an offering to God.

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m welcoming Cheryl Marshall back to the show to talk about her new book, All of Me: Pursuing a Life Wholly Devoted to God. Drawing from Romans 12:1–2, Cheryl helps us understand what it means to present ourselves as living sacrifices and worship God with every part of who we are.

Our hands, feet, eyes, ears, thoughts, motives, abilities, responsibilities, hopes, and dreams all belong to Him. Whether we are caring for children, helping an aging parent, working at our jobs, serving in our churches, or simply completing the next ordinary task before us, we have an opportunity to honor God.

But wholehearted devotion isn’t always easy. Cheryl identifies three things that can divide our devotion: distraction, disobedience, and discouragement.

Sometimes our hearts become distracted by busyness or the desire for approval. Sometimes we hold on to a sin or attitude we know God is asking us to surrender. And sometimes discouragement convinces us that our current circumstances—or even our past—make us unable to do anything significant for Him.

But Cheryl reminds us that our limitations do not disqualify us from glorifying God. In fact, those very places may become the setting where His strength, mercy, and faithfulness shine most clearly.

Our devotion doesn’t begin with guilt, fear, pride, or striving. It begins with remembering God’s mercy. As Cheryl says, “All other motivations other than mercy will fail us.”

Because Jesus gave all of Himself for us, we can joyfully offer all of ourselves to Him.

If your heart feels distracted, weary, discouraged, or divided today, I hope you’ll listen to this conversation. God is patient with us. He meets us in our weakness, renews our minds through His Word, and gives us the grace to take the next faithful step.

The Love Offering

What does it mean to worship God with your whole life? In this episode of The Love Offering Podcast, Rachael talks with Cheryl Marshall, author of All of Me: Pursuing a Life Wholly Devoted to God, about the transforming message of Romans 12:1–2. Cheryl explains how God’s mercy—not guilt, fear, pride, or performance—becomes the foundation for wholehearted devotion. Together, they discuss how our bodies, thoughts, motives, abilities, relationships, responsibilities, and even limitations can be offered to God as worship. Cheryl also addresses distraction, disobedience, and discouragement—three common struggles that can divide our devotion—and offers practical, biblical encouragement for renewing our minds, surrendering our everyday lives, and taking the next faithful step with Jesus.
