Today on the podcast we hear from my fun friend, Madi Ullman. I love her Jesus Story! Before we got to that, we spoke at length about making valentines to bless friends. As promised, here’s a picture of her elaborate creations. You’re seeing that right. There are hearts on hearts on hearts. Mine is the purple one that caused confusion and sadness in Madi.
It’s no wonder that Madi has a wonderful ministry in Faithbridge Kids. As a child, she asked Jesus into her heart. Like so many of us, at that young age and as a young follower of Jesus, she picked up the idea of being good and doing her best. It would be the trials she encountered in college that would drive her to God’s Word and a deep faith. Madi understood personally that she could never be good enough to earn God’s love, and she reminds us that we can never be bad enough to lose it. A relationship with Jesus begins with faith that His life, death, and resurrection paid the price of our sin. He defeated death, sin, and Satan.
Madi also mentions our imaginary, yet lovely and earnestly seeking acquaintance, Elsa. I usually ask women that I mentor or disciple to explain Christian concepts as if they were explaining them to someone who does not know any church lingo, is not from our country, and has no background in Christianity.
We had a fun time, and I hope you do too!
