What could happen if we saw everyone the way Jesus sees them? The students in our ministry who don’t listen or behave. Our neighbors who don’t know Jesus. Even ourselves, through our self-doubt and broken hearts.

On today’s episode, we’re listening to three inspiring talks from the Orange Conference 2017. First up is Jud Wilhite as he encourages us to stand firm in who God says that we are, not what the enemy wants us to believe about ourselves. Then, Andy Stanley speaks about the power of a broken heart and how God wants to use yours. Lastly, Danielle Strickland tells a story about her interaction with a Muslim evangelist that forever changed the way she does ministry.

Welcome to Episode 54 of the Think Orange Podcast.
