Mr. Mark Oelze shares with us how the PLEDGE approach is very applicable (and critical) as we minister to others. We must love well if we are to be used in evangelism and discipleship.

Mr. Mark Oelze helps us understand how to expand the use of PLEDGE (Pause, Listen, Echo back, Disarm, Give and Engage) in other areas of life. Useful in marriages, it is also extremely important to make this a way of life as we love others in our spheres of influence .

Mr. Mark Oelze shares his insights into loving well by helping us learn to communicate using "PLEDGE" -- Pause, Listen, Echo back, Disarm, Give (the other person an opportunity to contribute to the story) and Engage the process again and again. This dynamic can become a way of life as we allow the Spirit of God to live in us, helping us to focus not on me and what I want to say next but rather to focus on the other person.

This is episode two of six where we learn from Mr. Mark Oelze, marriage counselor, author of the book "The Pledge of a Lifetime" and founder of Pledgetalk. He starts by telling us an interesting anecdote about carrying his New Testament with his cell phone and how he committed to reading his Bible as often (or more) as he referred to his cell phone. Amazing results occurred as the Lord taught him through Scripture about how Jesus is the Light of the World and how He is the Life. In this way we can radiate that True Light to others.

Marriage counselor and author Mark Oelze shares with us some practical ways to implement the second part of the Great Commandment -- to love our neighbor. It doesn't have to be complex nor challenging but it does take intentionality. We start by listening to others, focusing on their needs first before our own.

People are asking, "Is the coronavirus pandemic a sign of the soon return of Jesus? Is this the end?" Whether or not the pandemic signals end time events, it is a wonderful opportunity to reach out and help people in many ways, from emotional to spiritual to physical and financial. In addition we must remember that our own personal "end" is the mark of a glorious future for those who have placed their faith in Jesus alone for eternal life.
