Haiti Update After Earthquake + Letting God Lead Us with Beth Harris

Before the chat with Beth Harris this week, we get an update from Krista Germeil with The Vilaj Ansanm in Jeremie, Haiti after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Saturday killing at least 1,419 people (CNN).

Let's pray for Haiti. And if you want to give to their ongoing efforts in Haiti, here are two places where Krista recommends doing that, if you decide you want to give. This podcast is not telling you to give or encourage you to give. We are just giving you two places where you can give if you feel led to do so.

Love this chat with Beth Harris! Beth is the Executive Assistant to Dr. Ted Traylor who is the lead pastor at Olive Baptist Church.

In this chat, we talk about how it is so easy to start off a conversation saying "I, me or we" but as Beth tells us, she feels called to work to try to say what God is doing first and give Him the glory first.

Beth's favorite Bible verse helping her out in this season is Philippians 1:6 (NIV) which reads: "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

The Bible verse we talk about after she reads the verse that is helping her out in this season is Ephesians 2:10 (ESV) which reads: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
