17. The Irreplaceable Presence of Jesus

Description

Does the name of Jesus roll easily off your tongue? My guess is - if you are a Christian you might say ‘sure’, but take notice over the next week how many times you say the Name of Jesus. There’s power in that name and I don’t think we use it enough. More often when we might say Jesus, we substitute it w “god” , “faith”, or “Church”.  I bring this up because Beth Davis, who I speak with today on the podcast, brought up the name of Jesus 35 times. I counted.  I think that’s a record for the podcast.  And I am here for it!  

And the reason it came up so much is because she has a really close relationship with him and wants to lead people to him every single time she presents to Catholic audiences.  

There’s no other goal for her when she speaks. And for us too, right? 

That’s the uncomfortable challenge today - are we speaking in such a way that squarely aims at this encounter, that helps facilitate through authenticity, docility, and prayer a deep and powerful connection between the speaker, the audience and the irreplaceable presence of Jesus?  

Beth Davis, a lover of Jesus, a retired youth minister, and the Director of Ministry Advancement for Blessed is She. She is passionate about teaching women how to develop an intimate relationship with Jesus and speaking hope to weary hearts. Her favorite things include being an aunt to her fab five niece and nephews, calling everyone ‘friend,’ and whatever book she’s currently reading.
