“I’m going to respond and it’s going to be radical, because I needed it to be radical. I needed to live a different life.”
- Kristen Welch
In today's episode, I interview Kristen Welch from the "We Are That Family" blog and founder of Mercy House Global, that exists to empower women around the globe in Jesus’ name with the development of fair-trade products. In the interview, Kristen shares about how God rocked her world when she was invited to Africa by Compassion International years ago to write about her experience through her blog and she came back forever changed.
Throughout the interview, Kristen shares about surrender. And the fruit that has come from surrendering herself and life to God since she went on that trip. Her story and words are wise, convicting and fresh. It's an interview you don't want to miss.
RENEW YOU’ SHOW NOTES:
Host Quinn Kelly highlights Romans 12:2 thinking by helping readers reflect on this thought:
The WORLD says this: We are take care of ourselves.
But God’s WORD says this:
“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” - Romans 12:1-2 (MSG)
