Doing Good Is Simple

DGS EP06 - Purpose Starts with What You Already Have

Chris Marlow Season 1 Episode 6

In this episode of Doing Good Is Simple, host Chris Marlow welcomes Anthony Myers, a pastor and executive coach in St. Louis, whose life is devoted to bridging deep divides in community, faith, and leadership.

 Their conversation dives into the real challenges of living out faith with humility, grace, and action in a complex world. Anthony’s approach to faith is anything but performative. 

It’s daily, relational, and driven by love and this episode is a compelling reminder that every ordinary person can make an extraordinary impact when they live with intentionality.

1. You Don’t Go To the Mission Field—You Live In It

 Anthony reminds us that we are not spectators of the mission we’re participants. 

Whether you’re a teacher, entrepreneur, or stay-at-home parent, your mission field is right in front of you. Every conversation, every relationship, every moment matters.

2. The Posture of Peacemaking Matters More Than the Win

 Being right is not the goal. Anthony shares that maturity in faith means engaging in difficult conversations with grace. 

The objective isn’t domination it’s understanding. “If I win and you lose, the kingdom loses,” he says. His advice: show up with open hands, not clenched fists.

3. We Must Move From Church-Centric to Kingdom-Focused Living

 Church is a vital gathering point, but the real work happens in the world. 

Anthony challenges believers to move beyond Sunday routines and embrace a kingdom mindset one rooted in service, justice, and deep love for others, especially those who don’t look, think, or believe like we do.

4. Small Acts of Kindness Can Carry Eternal Weight

 From handwritten notes to intentional conversations, Anthony emphasizes that bearing fruit doesn’t always mean grand gestures. 

Often, it’s the quiet, unseen, faithful steps that build trust and change lives.

5. We Must Lead With Values, Not Just Vision

 Anthony speaks directly to high-capacity leaders: you might be successful, but are you satisfied? 

He encourages businesspeople and entrepreneurs to define their values and ask how their daily work aligns with them. Building a legacy doesn’t start with plaques it starts with people.


 This episode isn’t about lofty theology or unreachable ideals. It’s about presence. About showing up. About living out your faith where you are, with what you have. 

Whether you’re writing thank-you notes, leading a business, or making dinner for your neighbors these are the acts that build the kingdom. 

Anthony’s wisdom is a timely reminder: we don’t need to do everything, but we can all do something. And that something, done in love, changes the world.
