I love pouring into people and watching the Lord move in their lives.
One of the greatest gifts is getting a front-row seat to what God is doing in someoneās story. But the beautiful thing about relationships is that it goes both ways. The people I get to pour into also pour into me. They encourage me, challenge me, sharpen me, and make me better.
Yesterday was one of those days.
I got to sit down with Haydenāan amazing young man Iāve had the honor of watching grow up into a great man and dad, and now a successful realtor. We call him āBig Haydenā because, of course, my Hayden is āLittle Hayden.ā š
Then I got to go eat sushi with my friend Jarrett. Jarrett is incredible. Heās accomplished some amazing thingsāan incredibly brilliant mind and successful businessman. When we get together, itās truly iron sharpening iron. Heās a strong believer and bold in his faith.
I walked away from yesterday just thinking, I am blessed with some of the greatest people in my life.
Never underestimate the gift of relationships.
Ministry isnāt just platforms, pulpits, titles, or positions. Some of the most meaningful ministry happens sitting across a table, sharing a meal, drinking a cup of coffee, listening, encouraging, challenging, laughing, and simply doing life together.
God places people in our lives on purpose.
Love them.
Pour into them.
Learn from them.
Celebrate them.
And steward those relationships well.
Relationships are one of lifeās greatest gifts.
