From music and spreading the Gospel to transforming prayer and lessons from sports...this episode of "Run The Race" has it all. A ministry serving West GA and East AL is rebranding from "Take The City" to "Harvest Movement." Their leader is this week's guest, Jeremy Northington sharing about that transition and the Biblical meaning of the new name...plus his past prodigal sinful ways leading to a life-changing moment in a new prayer closet...and how fatherhood, sports, fitness are changing his lifestyle lately.
(2:20) Following my own call from God, I first talk about a meaningful song, on the radio these day, and even sing my version of "Flowers," to hopefully uplift you when going through difficult times. Then, learn a lot more about this ministry leader.
(9:27) Harvest Movement's new President talks about the evolution from outreach to more missional opportunities that include coffee, restoring lives, revitalizing communities. What if it's awkward to talk to strangers about Jesus? Jeremy had that same fear and explains how their ministry gets you ready in a non-intimidating way to fulfil our mission. there will be a Harvest Rebrand open house and celebration with worship, food, drink this Saturday July 12 (from 10am-2pm) at 2910 2nd Avenue in Columbus GA. Find out more about the nonprofit, how to get involved and support them at https://www.harvestmovement.org/.
(19:58) As a rebellious teen, Jeremy strayed from the Lord - alcohol, drugs, sex - then had a moment in 2016, while desperate and broken, that led him to create a prayer closet. Hear his powerful testimony of transformation!
(28:25) Along with starting a business a decade ago, Jeremy really loves being a dad, which also leads to him coaching his son. He talks about sports correlating with ministry. (37:56) And now he's on a new fitness and health journey, feeling like God's calling him to eat better and be in better shape - to be able to achieve all that the Lord has planned for Jeremy. Time to say Yes to the Holy Spirit! (47:17) And he closes us in prayer.
