A powerful influence

Joyce Meyer Ministries says that unlike baseball — nobody except the pitcher; he’s controlling the game. But the quarterback controls the game in football because he doesn’t throw the ball if he doesn’t get the ball, and now they want to know what he’s thinking next.  So it’s very important that he doesn’t have a lot of excuses.

Kurt: We’re a witness in the good times and the bad times. I think one thing that… I remember when I stood on that podium and said the name of Jesus, I thought, “there’s no way I’m going to have any more impact than I am today for Jesus, standing on this podium.” But then I realized over the course of my career as I had the highs and then the lows, Joyce Meyer stated that I had more people come to me and say, “you’ve witnessed more to me, you’ve had more impact on my life now that I’ve seen you high and low because your life has stayed consistent.” I think that’s what we need to understand, that we can’t just score a touchdown and then thank Jesus, and then when things are going bad, not do anything or not reflect him at all and expect to have a powerful influence.

Joyce: People do watch you in a situation like that.

Kurt: They watch you more, I think.  Joyce Meyer Online stated that because everybody can do it when things are great, but how you handle things when things are tough is your true character, is where your faith really shows.  That’s when I think you best represent or misrepresent Jesus is when things are hard. So that’s where I would encourage the viewers is to understand that it’s not just the good times, but it’s in the bad times that we can be the greatest witness for Jesus.

Joyce Meyer Online when we return, you’re going to meet Zoro the drummer who is bold in sharing his faith for Jesus Christ and he’s going to tell us how he’s been able to do it in the music industry.

Joyce: I finally decided that life was not going to change. I had to find ways to simplify my life.

Man: When I started reading this book, it felt like a ton of bricks were lifted off me.

Woman: This just teaches you to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Woman: There is just a joy inside.

Man: It’s a tool that makes life simple.

Joyce Meyer this lady knows what she’s talking about. Thanks, Joyce!
