I'm excited to share something that's close to my heart, the history and the people of Israel. As a follower of Jesus, Israel is where it all started. It's where he walked, taught, and ministered. The Bible reminds us that God never breaks his promises.
How can someone start praying when they feel awkward?
Romans 11, 28 says that the people of Israel are deeply loved because of the promises God made long ago. And he's faithful to keep those promises. That's why I'm sharing with you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. For over 40 years, they provided food, shelter, and life-saving aid to Israel's most vulnerable, especially Holocaust survivors and the elderly. Will you join me in standing with the people in Israel? To learn more and find out how you can help, visit ifcj.org. That's ifcj.org.

Hi there. Hello. I'm now wondering, do I say hello on every single one of them? I don't know. We'll have to go back and listen. You had a fun night last night. It was a really sweet night. We had a Unite event, a ministry event where thousands of college students came together and it was a really powerful night. How many students are there about gosh, last night, I'm not even sure, but typically we have around anywhere from six to 8,000. And so it's really, it's really amazing.
What should you do when life gets busy and prayer feels like an afterthought?
And it feels like the Lord moves in a new way every single time and shows up differently every single time. And I mean, I had so many encounters with girls coming up, just like breaking down, crying, saying like, I've been holding onto this unforgiveness for so long. Like, will you pray for me? And, and people just confessing sin and going all in. I mean, it just, it was a really, powerful night. And did you guys do baptisms? We did. Yes. Wow. So that's typically how we've, we've wrapped up every unite event. Everyone gets fired up about the baptisms. Wow.
How can prayer help during challenging life stages?
And are they in the arena? Are you doing them in the back of trucks? Are you pulling out little, little baby pools or baby pools or just like some little like tubs or something like that? But Some type of, you know, portable situation. The trucks are fun and the water is typically freezing. And so every person who like steps in, it's like a shock. But but yeah, it's really cool. It feels like the most just like authentic, real. It's like, hey, we're just in a truck, a truck bed. Like, let's get baptized. Why not? Do you feel that there is a revival or an energy amongst college students now?
What actionable steps can deepen your connection with God through prayer?
And can I even say since the death of Charlie Kirk, does it feel different? Yes. I think that there was already a hunger before then. I think that in the last, I've even just seen specifically in being a part of Unite in the last couple of years, there's been such a hunger and desperation for something that's real, for something that's true, for something that will last.
