DO GOOD, Y'ALL! AND STOP WAITING TO BE READY!You don’t need to clean your whole life up before God can use you to make a real impact.In this special episode, Kristy Serfass, Volunteer Coordinator and Warehouse Manager at Allies in Youth Development, an organization dedicated to rescuing orphans and vulnerable youth around the world through life-giving mentorship and humanitarian aid, shares her powerful story of how God met her in the middle of the bar and party scene, drew her deeper into faith, and used her willingness to take action to create an incredible ripple effect.Kristy and Meredith unpack what it truly means to put "faith with feet", the truth that God meets us right in the middle of taking action. Action isn't what you do after you've figured it all out; it's often the very place where transformation begins.Kristy also takes us on a tour of the Allies warehouse to see how this local hub empowers everyday people, families, and communities to serve with purpose, sending humanitarian aid to vulnerable youth and orphans all around the world.Whether you're stepping out in faith for the first time or looking to serve your community this @northtexasgivingday, Kristy’s journey is proof that God can use you right now, right where you are.📌 CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Intro: What if obedience comes before transformation?03:38 — Welcome Kristy Serfass04:54 — What is Christian Action?
