Chapter 1: Why is community important in challenging times?
Life is like a roller coaster, but it's so much better when we go through it together. It's true. We are better together. And this season, I'm asking our podcast community to do something together to make a difference in the world. There are hard things going on around us. Hurricanes, floods, fires, people hurting.
And as followers of Jesus, we show up in the hard stuff and we build relationships with people who need us. We give. Each week, I'm bringing you a short piece of an interview with a special guest. And each week, you'll hear more about what we can do together. These are short episodes, less than 10 minutes. So come join us.
Thanks, God. I was born. That's the very beginning of my story.
Yeah.
But again, I don't know if you can see those aspects of spiritual warfare, single mother, struggling financially. That's a reality that I believe even maybe some moms listening to us and follow you and follow the podcast are going through.
Yeah.
And so I hope they can, they can see this because God has a plan. God had a plan for me. We're going to continue talking about that, but God has a plan for them as well. But I don't know if you relate to that reality, a mom on herself, uh,
Yeah, I mean, I certainly relate, not in the sense that that's my story, but I certainly know of enough stories, whether I've read them, seen them on the news, or when I've gone to visit the children that I sponsor. So I've seen it firsthand going to Africa, going to the Dominican Republic. It was very much a story of two of the children that I sponsor and their mom ran away from abuse.
That's where it all started. Ran away from her family and didn't have anything. But eventually... did find a husband and they are together and they have three beautiful children and I sponsor two of them. But yeah, I've sat and talked with her in their home and heard all about it. And it just, it breaks my heart, but it's amazing to see what God can do.

Chapter 2: How can followers of Jesus make a difference?
I can tell they're real deep.
For seven years, for seven years, they studied my case, invested in my case. But there is this sense of dignity when you're in poverty. And for me, being in this reality, working in the streets, my early memories is walking in the streets, looking for plastic and iron to recycle, to buy a piece of bread and eat something.
