The Person Everyone Needs

Jonathan received undeserved favor when he became a prince, and used it to increase his kingdom. Since God has granted each of us undeserved favor, we can also use it for good - to increase His kingdom.

Entering our fourth year, we revisit the motivation for The Person Everyone Needs and hear a renewed introduction to Jonathan.

Being a person that someone else needs doesn't have to take a lot. Basic things in life - like real connections with others - are often more fulfilling than anything fancy or exotic. You can start by just seeing and meeting someone's need to be heard, and who knows what that can grow into!

It doesn't take much to encourage someone in a way they'll never forget. A small gesture to show someone you believe in them can change their entire life!

Guest Ryan Anglin joins Pastor Webb to share his perspective on the meaning and importance of Legacy.

In our lives, we must be intentional about listening over speaking. We must prioritize listening to the Holy Spirit and wise council before we should speak into others' lives.

Be a person who is fulfilled by seeing others succeed and knowing you played a part - without needing the credit for it.

The spine of a book gives you a glimpse of what will be inside. Does the spine of your life's book portray you accurately? If it is not the way you'd like it to be, are you working to write a new volume?

Grace: it makes us grateful, it moves us towards humility, and it builds momentum in the direction we want to go.

Mentoring someone or putting yourself under someone else's mentorship has its risks. This episode will help you realize the risks are worth it, even when things don't work out the way you hoped.

Martin Luther's actions that started the Protestant Reformation, and his classic song, are still remembered today. When we fight back against the lies of Satan and declare the name of Jesus, we win.

Character Matters. You can rise to fame with your talents, but if you have bad character that is revealed then everything can be ruined. Develop traits in your life like modesty, humility, loyalty, and patience.

Parenting is more about modeling the right behavior than we often realize. Becoming who you want to be will show your child how to do the same. Sometimes, that can start with a simple apology.

Children need to be shown and told what you expect, and then have those actions affirmed when the expectations are met. This is important during all stages of parenting.

As parents, we are the primary teacher for our children. Don't rely on the school or the church to teach your kids the values and habits that you want them to have.

Parents should be dealers in hope. When your children are anxious about the future, help them see that God is already there. Help them focus on their character, which is what will matter most wherever they're going.

Charlie Kirk is an example of a Person Everyone Needs. Maybe he has inspired you to use your voice, to no longer be afraid to speak the truth - not with hate but rather with a motivation of love.

Celebrating and Commemorating. When you reach a goal, don't be afraid to celebrate! Celebrating can give glory to God, acknowledge those who are with you, and bring inspiration for others or yourself in the future.

Faithfulness. Jonathan had only a few stories included in the Bible, however we can tell he was faithful in the everyday things of life - which led to the chance to do the great things he did.

There are a few unnamed boys in some significant Bible stories, including one with Jonathan and David. This week's episode encourages you to be open to serve in any capacity because you may be part of something great - even if your name is not recorded.

One important part of Jonathan's relationship with David was he helped him feel like he belonged. Who can you help feel that way - even when you don't feel seen yourself?

Wisdom isn't about dwelling on past time lost, but using your time now to prepare for what's ahead. Opportunities come from being prepared before they arise.

The final installment on Winning details some important things to keep in mind when you succeed - and when you don't.

Building momentum towards your goals by taking one small win at a time is key. Any goal worth reaching won't come easy, so you'll have to build momentum with each right step.

After dreaming big and setting your goals, the next step is to break them down into manageable pieces. You can start small and gradually work your way toward accomplishing your goal!
