In this episode, host David Nakhla talks with three men: one whose family suffered damage to their home through regional flooding, one whose family suffered devastating property loss as a result of a fire, and one who has aided in a variety of disasters over the years. They share with us from the recipient's perspective in order to aid deacons and church families understand and gain some practical tips for aiding those in crises. Their experiences have taught them an appreciation for being a part of Christ’s church during difficult times, how the actions of others helped them through their ordeal and the lessons that can sometimes come in dealing with the aftermath.
