We titled this episode "Be a Bernice" inspired by the encouragement 12-year-old Tanner received that helped him decide to become a preacher.

Faith grows best when hearts are nurtured, not pressured. Discipleship isn't built on expectations of roles - it's built on love, patience, and example.

Your approach matters.

A gentle word, steady presence, or quiet encouragement can shape someone's faith far more than pressure ever could.

Build on faith first.

Let growth come naturally.
