Haven\u2019t we all benefited from a friend or a loved one who reached out, was able to lend an ear, or who was just there for us when we were going through a rough patch? It's amazing how a little kindness and understanding can bring us back to life. In Ephesians from the Bible, we are instructed to \u201cBe kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. [Ephesians 4:32]\u201d We might never know how the smallest kindnesses we show could have a life-changing impact on those who receive it. Our first guest is Willie Robertson, the CEO of Duck Commander and a familiar face from the Duck Dynasty television series. Willie shares a story about the transformative power of being there for one another\u2014about a minister who showed up for his father, Phil, in one of his darkest hours\u2014and how it inspired a new found faith that would eventually turn his life, and the lives of his family, in a new direction. We\u2019ll also hear from Ben Fuller, a Nashville-based singer\/songwriter, who faced addiction in his youth and early twenties. When he lost a close friend to addiction, Ben\u2019s future seemed destined for a similar, dismal outcome. But a family who\u2019d known Ben as a child decided to take him under their wing, invited him to church, and Ben found the hope he\u2019d been looking for all his life.   Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Delilah Upcoming interview: Lauren Green Ephesians 4:32 NIV Jesus Calling for Moms  Grace for the Moment for Moms Jesus Calling for Graduates    Willie Robertson Duck Commander  Duck Dynasty television series John 4 NIV fruit of the Spirit Gospeler   Ben Fuller Romans 10:9 NIV \u201cIf I Got Jesus\u201d   Interview Quotes: \u201cIf you talk to someone and they change their lives, all that could be generational change for them, for their children, for their grandchildren. And all that could take place just by telling someone a story.\u201d - Willie Robertson  \u201cWhether I'm studying the Bible with someone and trying to teach someone, or if I'm just literally trying to figure out some of the answers to life, I always just go into the Bible and see what it says.\u201d - Willie Robertson \u201cWhat I find is when you share your faith, when you do that a lot, it starts fixing a lot of the other problems that you may have in life anyway.\u201d - Willie Robertson  \u201cIn a moment [during my first time at church] hearing music and worship and seeing everyone's hands in the air and just feeling the Holy Spirit tangible in the room, it was like, This is what I've been looking for.\u201d - Ben Fuller  \u201cMy Savior, His last few days on earth, He's washing filthy feet and He's spending His night with a leper. That's the Savior that saved my life.\u201d - Ben Fuller  \u201cIt's amazing how when I don't open the Word of God, or if I'm not constantly seeking His presence, if I'm not constantly asking Him to guide me, to lead me, to just walk with me, it's amazing how upset I'll get, how short tempered I'll get, how quick I am to forget.\u201d - Ben Fuller  ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
