Listen Later

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, Walker, & Craig discuss: 

  • The journey to finding Jesus and how it changes lives. 
  • Being a friend without judgment. 
  • Handling success after years of struggles. 
  • Serving Jesus where you are at in your life. 

  

Key Takeaways: 

  • Jesus will use you to create miracles if you listen and act as His hands.  
  • The cross around your neck - is it decoration or is it real? 
  • God grows us in the valleys of our lives. He is preparing us for a future beyond our imagination. 
  • Live your life in a way that really points everybody to Christ over and over again. 
  • Time is a gift. If time is all you have to give, that is your greatest asset. 

  

"Jesus fixes it all and success hasn't really changed anything. If anything, it's given me a lot more problems to navigate." —  Walker Hayes
