Just recently I was challenged about the validity of a project and I reminded them of a very powerful principle that most people in life don't remember or forget. Pontius Pilate reminded us that Jesus was the man. Just one man.! Please let the truth of that sit on your head for a while and take time to listen to my story. It may even help you to live differentl\/ more fully alive, starting now. And then I asked STOSH the robot ... To give his commentary on the show and here's what he provided... The Power of One: Lessons from Stanley Jones and the Legacy of Fully Alive Living By Stan the Radio Man | Stanley Jones Radio School Could it be that all you really need is the power of one? That\u2019s the question we explored in this edition of the Stanley Jones Radio School for Fully Alive Living. It\u2019s a theme that\u2019s quietly, persistently echoed throughout the life and legacy of E. Stanley Jones\u2014one of the most profound missionary evangelists of the 20th century. As I reflect on this program, I find myself encouraged, reminded, and once again amazed by the powerful ripple effect one life can have on the world. This session wasn\u2019t just about the life of a great man\u2014it was a call to remember that we, too, can be the one. A Legacy Built One Person at a Time Stanley Jones\u2019 worldwide influence began with humble origins: a single young man touched by a pastor\u2019s invitation and the quiet, faithful presence of one Sunday school teacher\u2014Nellie Logan. She knelt beside him at the altar, comforted him, and unknowingly lit a fire that would stretch across continents. Later, it was one host family at Asbury College that introduced him to India. One person, one connection, one invitation\u2014each moment a thread woven into a tapestry of global impact. And we see that same thread carried forward by his wife, Mabel Lossing Jones, who partnered with him in both mission and message. That\u2019s the spirit of what we\u2019re trying to honor and carry forward with this radio school and our weekly programs. We are volunteers. We are teachers, learners, encouragers, and pray-ers. And we are believers in the power of one. A Personal Reflection As a broadcaster and teacher who\u2019s been around the block a few times, I often think about the old days when a gentleman always wore a tie. I still enjoy a good purple one now and then\u2014especially during Holy Week. But more important than ties and traditions is what we pass along: the marks we leave in our books, in our work, and in the lives of others. I often highlight passages with a big red pencil, hoping someday someone\u2014maybe my daughters\u2014will read those lines and understand what mattered most to me. This week, I revisited a powerful resource: 30 Days with E. Stanley Jones: Global Teacher and Social Justice Prophet by Rev. John (Jack) Harnish. In Chapter Two, Jack writes about \u201cThe Power of One\u201d\u2014and that\u2019s what truly grabbed me. It\u2019s a truth I\u2019ve always believed in and one I try to live out in my business coaching, teaching, and broadcasting. You start with one. One idea. One effort. One act of courage. One prayer. And that\u2019s enough to change a life\u2014and sometimes, the world. Life Lessons from the Power of One Let me share a few takeaways that might stick with you and inspire your journey: \ud83d\udd39 One person can make all the difference. Never underestimate the value of your quiet encouragement, your persistent faithfulness, or your unseen acts of service. \ud83d\udd39 Start small, stay faithful. Everything meaningful begins with one\u2014one thought, one call, one yes. Don\u2019t despise small beginnings. \ud83d\udd39 You might be someone\u2019s Nellie Logan. The person you encourage today might become the Stanley Jones of tomorrow. \ud83d\udd39 Mark what matters. In your books, in your life, in your heart\u2014leave signs of what\u2019s important. It might guide someone someday. \ud83d\udd39 Look for your \u201cone thing.\u201d As the cowboy said in the film City Slickers, life is about finding your one thing. Ask God to show you yours. A Closing Challenge: Be the One So here\u2019s my heartfelt challenge to you: Be the one. Be the one who believes. Be the one who shows up. Be the one who writes, speaks, prays, teaches, helps. The world doesn\u2019t need another superstar\u2014it needs faithful ones. Everyday heroes. Silent warriors. People of presence and purpose. During this Holy Week, as we walk toward Easter and reflect on the one who gave His all for us, let\u2019s say: \u201cLord, help me be the one who does the one thing You\u2019ve called me to do.\u201d And if you feel stirred to help us carry on this mission\u2014whether it\u2019s as a prayer partner, a supporter, or even one of our seven new teachers\u2014please reach out. Maybe this is your one thing. You can contact me at Stan@WITRadio.net. Let\u2019s talk, pray, and perhaps, begin something powerful\u2014together. For now, blessings and peace to you. Remember: You could be the one who does the one great thing. \u2014 Stan the Radio Man Stanley Jones Radio School for Fully Alive Living ","author_name":"ThE Stanley Jones Radio School for "Fully Alive" Living now and forever with Stan Hustad","author_url":"https:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/432450","html":"
