In this episode, Brian Krug shares a deeply powerful and personal story about how his sister's cancer diagnosis lead her to meet Jesus. The Krugs show 'stepping stones' patience and faithfullness and his sister has an amazing encounter with Jesus that draws her close to Him, before she passes away. It's a wonderful story of God's faithfulness through life and death.

In this episode, Brian Krug, the producer of the show, takes over as host, so he can interview Chris about an evangelism story.  Christ shares about a year long experience of befriending and sharing Jesus with William, a man he met after getting a flat tire on the highway.  William faced some serous struggles and ultimately died of a drug overdose.   But God used the relationship in many ways for the benefit of William, his family, Chris's family and even to impact the people of Living Hope Church.

You want to lead someone to Jesus, but the task is so intimidating for you. Chris reminds us that the Stepping Stones help us grow in confidence and boldness little by little.
