When we take the time to help others—whether it is offering comfort, spending time with a sick friend, or caring for an elderly relative—something positive happens. The person we help feels better, and in turn, we feel good, too. This creates a beautiful cycle where we realize that "We Rise by Lifting Others." Tune into this podcast as Art explains how doing good for others aligns with God’s plan. When we help others, we receive a reward from the Lord in the form of our own happiness.

As humans, we often focus on what we admire in others—whether it is someone's looks, success, or possessions. Many of us overlook the blessings we have while striving for what we lack. However, if we took a moment to reflect on ourselves, we would realize that each of us possesses a multitude of wonderful qualities, abilities, and talents that are unique to us.

We have all heard the saying, “Do as I do, not as I say,” from many people, including teachers, doctors, family members, and friends, often with good intentions. They want us to do things correctly, even though they may not follow the same advice themselves. For instance, it’s acceptable when a piano teacher demonstrates the correct fingering for a musical passage, even if they occasionally struggle with it themselves. Similarly, it’s understandable when a doctor advises us to lose a few pounds, despite knowing that he might need to lose more weight than we do. However, in the Christian community, it is essential for all of us to lead by example and strive to get the best from each other. Tune into this podcast and let Art share why, as Christians, we cannot accept the idea of “Do as I say, not as I do,” and how crucial it is for us to lead by example. Listen to this episode of “Let Go and Let God” to discover the extraordinary life we can all lead as Christians when we accept our responsibility to guide others as ambassadors of Jesus.

Prayer is not merely about reciting words; it must be genuine and sincere. When we pray for something, it is essential to have a strong belief that the Lord will make it happen. If we lack this belief, our prayers may be ignored. We have all heard individuals say things like, “I pray and pray, but nothing happens,” or “I prayed, but the Lord doesn’t listen to me.” Unfortunately, they are often correct because they lack faith in their prayers. If they do not believe that the Lord is listening or trust that He will respond, their prayers are likely to go unanswered. Tune into this podcast to hear Art explain how we can demonstrate our belief in what we are praying for and why this is so vital. Listen to this podcast to learn how powerful prayer can be when done correctly and how valuable it is to us as Christians.
