You have to know Katie Davis Majors! Her impact on my life started almost 13 years ago when she moved to Uganda and wrote about her faithful obedience to God on her blog Kisses from Katie (you might recognize it!). Today, we talk about life in Uganda, what it’s like raising her family of 15 overseas, and how God’s plans for us are always greater than our own. Find her books ‘Kisses from Katie’ and ‘Daring to Hope’ online and learn more about Amazima at amazima.org Find Jennie’s 5-book series for kids here: http://theolaby.com

We’re starting at the very beginning. Why did God make you? Why are you here? My prayer for you is that you would walk away from this episode and know down in your soul why you’re on the earth and the hope we have in Jesus.

Little kids ask hard questions. Am I saying the right thing? Am I explaining that enough? You’re met with blank stares. Or maybe their curiosity is deeper and bigger than you could ever dream. Or let’s get real. We have hard questions about the things of God. But we rarely take the time to stop and dig for the answer and understand it down in our bones. Even if you don't have kids, don’t tune out on this. This is important for all of us to get the basics right. Why am I here? What is sin? Where is heaven? Do I know God? These are crucial questions and I want to spend the next 5 weeks going there. It’s going to be simple and clear and I don’t want you to miss this.

This friend needs no introduction. You all know and love Latasha Morrison! She will be a friend for life and from the moment she’s walked into my life she has blessed me beyond measure. This work of racial reconciliation in my life has given me the most incredible friendships like Tasha. On the other side of this work could be the best friends you’ve ever had. So join us today and hear from her. If you haven’t read her book “Be the Bridge”, you’re missing out! https://www.amazon.com/Be-Bridge-Pursuing-Racial-Reconciliation/dp/0525652884

We’re going to take the next two weeks to understand the next steps for racial reconciliation. Jesus broke down one cultural barrier after another then commissioned us to do the same.
