S4 Ep 216Jesus Gives Us A Choice (Special Guest – Kevin Longino, CEO of The National Kidney Foundation)
When Jesus walked the earth over 2000 years ago, he performed numerous miracles and died for us on the cross. Many of the miracles he performed were done intentionally without any fanfare. In fact, Jesus often wanted the miracles he performed to be kept secret. When he died on the cross, we all know that as the Son of God, he could have prevented it at any time, but he chose not to. Why? Because Jesus’ purpose was to demonstrate just enough here on earth to give us all a choice. Do we believe in him or not?

S4 Ep 215It's Not About Me- (Special Guest: Virginia Mayer, President & Founder, Kingdom College)
We all encounter people who only care about themselves. Their main concern is what they need, what they want, who did this to them, who said this to them, and so on. There is no room in the Christian community for someone acting like that. Most of us do not usually behave that way, but sometimes we focus too much on ourselves. When that happens, we need to remember “It’s Not About Me.” Tune in to this episode of “Let Go and Let God,” and let Art explain why it is wrong to think of ourselves first and show why Christians must prioritize the needs of others. Listen to this episode to learn how to balance taking care of ourselves without neglecting those around us.
