God In The Ordinary: Jacob Sims
Manage episode 360561007 series 3263768
Is it really possible to help the most vulnerable and abused people in the world? Christians are called by Jesus to pursue His instructions and to care for the broken - but how do we do that well? In this edition of God In The Ordinary, Sharon Tedford talks with Jacob Sims, International Justice Mission’s Country Director for Cambodia, who helps us think more deeply about what it looks like to truly come alongside people who are in need. Jake shares about how sometimes we don’t have to say a word about our Christian faith, and instead simply act in the way that Jesus would have (that’s evangelism!); he talks about how releasing control of our own desires, and letting go of the strong grip we sometimes have on how we want our future to unfold, can enable us to walk in true freedom for ourselves and others. The need to get beyond where we feel comfortable is a surprising lesson Jake learned from a hobby and something we can all be encouraged to lean into. This edition will help you think about how caring for others can stretch into every area of your day; and how living a life, where Christ is the Hero of the story, will bring amazing results for us and those we interact with.
