We can be heroes in our lives, everyone of us. Ancestral traditions, mindsets, obstacles, struggles, suffering, transformation, and hope are just a few of the topics that Grace Julius and I chat about during Episode 057 of the Choose 2 Think Podcast.
Grace shares his personal testimony and journey of not only coming home to Christ but also of launching initiatives to change his village in the Mukono District of central Uganda. He is a young visionary, a hero in his own right, with an undying passion for God and love for people. And how exactly does he demonstrate God's love?

You stood alone for 20 years after he neglected ....

Join me on the Choose 2 Think Podcast to listen to Christine (and her husband David's) journey through the long and winding road of international adoption. We cozy up and talk process, the ups-and-downs, and the dreaded but unavoidable waiting. Christine is so personable and speaks straight from her heart. Her story has a wonderful and miraculous ending that you don't want to miss. Be sure to subscribe wherever you listen. But there's more!
This Thursday on the Choose 2 Think Podcast, you will hear a story of a beautiful young woman named Kailen (pictured above) who passed away at the age of 25 from breast cancer. Like you, I, too, knew a breast cancer diagnosis was very rare in women in their 20s and 30s. To be sure, according to the American Cancer Society, it accounts for less than 5% of all cases.
In respectful honor of Kailen and others like her, and I want to share just a few facts that I found on the National Breast Cancer Foundation website AND I'd like to pose a challenge for you:
You may need a box of tissues nearby as you listen to Lisa’s story about her dear sister Heather.
Today on the Choose 2 Think Podcast, Lisa will help us unpack and shed light on a topic that we tend to avoid or that we don’t know much about. It make even make us feel uncomfortable. The topic is organ donation. |
