God truly gives each of us a talent...or maybe 2 or 3. For me, this point has been driven home this week as I prepared to do a half hour radio spot with my good friend Patrick Bet-David on his KKLA show called "Saving America". Patrick has been a faithful member of Shepherd for some time and has an amazing testimony of someone who came to this country as an immigrant, served in the U.S. Army and know runs his own business...and a successful one at that.
Patrick's vision for his radio show has nothing to do with his bottom line or gaining new clients, it is strictly about changing this world for God's kingdom. Not an easy thing in today's society and especially living in southern california. Patrick's show this week is highlighting Shepherd Sports...we air this Sunday (6-27-10) at 12:00pm and again at 9:30pm on KKLA.
I have been blessed by Patrick and I pray our church and sports ministry will be blessed by the airing of the show on Sunday. Included on the show this week is Jrue Holiday and Annette Davis. Both professional athlete's who are running their basketball and volleyball camp's respectively at Shepherd Sports this summer. On the radio program this week both Jrue & Annette share how sports and Jesus has impacted them and how they keep God first in their life. You do not want to miss these interviews as both Jrue and Annette share valuable insights into how they keep God in all aspects of what they do.
With talents like Patrick who use his business connections and love for this country to host a radio show every week that brings people closer to God, or Jrue Holiday who is currently the youngest player in the NBA to give back to his home church with his 1st Annual Basketball Camp this Summer and Annette Davis who has played in the Olympics and still currently plays on the AVP tour and still finds time to balance God, family, work and still has time to give back.
I am privileged and honored to know and work along side these people who go about their everyday life with a passion to use what God has given them to give back and lead people towards the cross. I can only pray that we all find a way to use our God given talents and resources to glorify him.
