In This Episode:

• What I love about this scripture is the order in which the miracle happened.
• So I don't know if you're like me, but I can get caught up so many times thinking that the way God works is there's a miracle. That miracle will grow my faith. And then, because my faith is strong, I will be passionate about supporting and backing others.
• Joe talks about the different contexts he has heard the term armor-bearer. It's positive and negative connotations.
• This story reminds us of how much we need to be supporting of other people in our lives.
• It doesn't start with a miracle, it starts with support and encouragement.
• Once we are willing to walk with someone in their journey, that's when we see our faith and their faith grow.

In This Episode:

• Bob is one of the greatest community builders that Drew has ever met.
• Bob was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN. He grew up in a somewhat dysfunctional home in a dysfunctional neighborhood. He grew up in church and served in a large church with a youth group of more than 500 students.
• He poured a decade of his life into the students at that church and feels very proud of the role he played in the lives of all those students.
• They later adopted their daughter and realized he needed to do something different with his life to take care of his family. At that point, he felt a bit disregarded by the church.
• They took about a five-year break from the church before becoming re-involved at a local church.
• Bob now describes himself as a "Free Agent" if any churches are listening...
• Bob served at a church where it seemed that the pastor was building his brand. We discuss how this is becoming a more common issue in churches throughout the United States and contrast it with Biblical stories of leaders making much of Jesus and minimizing their role.
