Y'all are in for a treat! In this podcast episode, we have a fun, encouraging conversation with our precious friend Chrissy Vandiver. In December we reflect on Jesus and why he came and the magnitude and importance of it all. We want to love God and love others and serve people well. Chrissy shares how the Lord literally stopped in front of the jail where she now loves to serve women. The Lord uniquely gifted each of us to serve others, and Chrissy encourages us to be brave enough to pursue that calling in our lives.

Every day I start my morning with "This is the day the Lord has made for you, Chrissy. Rejoice and be glad in it!" If you don't know what to say, just say "Jesus!"

"There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them. There are different ways of serving, but the same Lord is served." 1 Corinthians 12:4-5 GNT

"Each one, as a good manager of God's different gifts, must use for the good of others the special gift he has received from God." 1 Peter 4:10 GNT

Christmas challenge: when we see Christmas gifts, think about how the Lord has gifted me and whether I am using my gifts for his glory.
