129: Your New Year’s Challenge

MID-SEGMENT GUEST: Joel Werdell

Organization: Christian Association of Youth Mentoring

Part 2 of the 3-Part Series Everyone Can Do Something

With Christmas and New Year’s Eve just around the corner, this show challenges listeners to consider how they can make a difference in the lives of others. Bruce reflects on God’s systematic design for moments of reflection and action, encouraging listeners to look forward, step out in faith, and recognize the opportunities God presents.

Special guest Joel Werdell, president of the Christian Association of Youth Mentoring, shares powerful insights about mentoring’s transformative role in providing stability and love, particularly in foster care. From small acts like cooking a meal or playing a card game to teaching lifelong skills, Joel emphasizes how anyone can pour into the next generation.

As New Year’s Eve approaches, Jim and Bruce discuss practical ways to combat loneliness by reaching out to neighbors, inviting others into your home, or simply being transparent and intentional in relationships. The overarching message is clear: everyone has something to offer. By stepping out of passivity and embracing community, we can live out our faith and bring joy to others.
