We Bring a Light; If We're Not There, There's No Light

We Bring a Light; If We're Not There, There's No Light

Guest: Jody Bryan | Host Bob Moffitt.  Jody says, "The results are up to the Lord. We pour in and pray", referring to women who need care through the Crisis Pregnancy Center near the Army base where she and her husband live.  Jody says, "God asked us to", followed by, "I want to know that my life had meaning and purpose."  Jody continues about having male soldiers or a family over for hospitality, "To have a meal or coffee with them is the most powerful way to spread God's love to them. Ever since our kids were little we have figured how to be hospitable, to have them stay with us or to have meals, coffee or dessert." Jody says, "It's a sacrifice to have people over, but the conversations we have around the table, and the growth...I want to look back on my life and know what I did for God and his kingdom."   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

How Can I Walk Alongside Them and Help Them to Know Jesus?

Guest: Joel Bryan | Host: Bob Moffitt. Bob says, "Young people are interested in life for what it can give them. What can I get out of life? How can I take advantage of the world? It seems that your focus is 'how can I help others?' We gain the most when we give the most. How much we grow, how much we're able to flourish depends not on self-seeking, but on asking the question, "How can I help others grow the most?"   When we're able to do that, we flourish." And that's exactly what Joel Bryan, 24, is doing. Joel says, "I see the people around me. I think, 'How can I help these people to know Jesus more and love him more?'" Joel asks the question, "Who are the people around you who you see and you know, and how can you walk alongside them and be a guide to them, and they can be a guide to you?"  Joel remarks, "Of all the different ways I spend my time, it's the things that have Jesus in the center that brings me the most joy, fulfillment, peace and contentment. Look around, pray, and ask, 'God, what do I have that you've given me that I can offer to someone else to be an encouragement and an example?'"
