If you’ve been walking out this Christian life for any length of time, you have probably been called to love someone even when it hurts. Maybe it is hard because they don’t love you back or maybe it is painful to watch what they are going through. That is the case with my guest Julie Boit. For two decades she has been called to the intersection of faith, global health, and human dignity, to impact the care of babies, children, and adults in Kenya, many of whom have been on their deathbed from HIV. Juli describes her journey as being marked by equal parts trauma and wonder as God has shown up over and over again to heal her heart in the process of using her hands to help heal and comfort others.
Listen in for:
· Why we need both courage and compassion in community to love
· What it costs and how to love well
· How to stay willing and tenderhearted even in tough situations
· Finding God’s goodness in the hard
· How pain and grief give space for joy
· What to do when prayer with words is hard
Favorite Quotes:
“Love is costly.” – Juli Boit
“There is a healing power in presence.” – Tiffany Jo Baker
Key Verse:
“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” – Matthew 6:26
