POPULARITY
With the new season of Survivor premiering soon - one of the most popular TV programs and reality shows of all time - a former contestant from Alabama shares about how she got on the show and what it was really like on the island. On this Valentine's Day, this mom and ministry leader also very open about her 2nd chance love story with her now-husband...a recent cancer battle that made her question God...and why experiencing faith is so important. (5:15) Krista Klumpp Russell describes having to break her own heart with her high school sweetheart Blake, when he was on the path to destruction that eventually landed him behind bars for a decade. Getting out and 13 years after they broke up, they reunited and have now been married 6 years. How did their Christian walks help make that happen? (15:30) In the last few years, Krista was also diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, at 37 years old. She breaks down the 18 weeks of chemo and all the other treatments, prayer that led her to being declared cancer free last Fall, with still more work to do. That cancer battle though made prayer and her faith difficult at times. She explains. And Krista says she no longer has a "boring testimony." (26:50) Krista (Klumpp) was on season 22 of Survivor, Rdemption island, lasting 15 days, but being the 4th person voted out. How did a random chance moment lead to her casting call for the show? How was she grilled about her faith and beliefs before being picked? And she has advice on how to get on a show like this. Krista details how tough it is, with cameras always on you, little food, other challenges on Survivor. She's also passionate about people (37:14) really experiencing faith, not just stating beliefs, but putting them into action beyond the church walls. That means getting out of our comfort zone. Krista and family did that for a full month in Africa. (45:49) As for fitness, this busy mom of 2 young kids doesn't enjoy working out, but enjoys the benefits, so she has a "use it or lose it" attitude. (52:57) She and husband Blake Russell are co-founders, leaders of 7M Ministries: https://www.7mministries.org/. He speaks at jails/prisons, schools, churches as an evangelist and former drug dealer who radically turned his life around through Jesus. Their goal or slogan is "Doing Our Part." How can you make a difference? Krista plans to step out more to share her testimony, including her cancer battle. As we do with all episodes, I close out in prayer.

Was listening to Lin Manuel Miranda's interview on Ellen just recently and he was asked if he thought Hamilton would turn out to be as successful as it was... His response... “All we can do is do our part.” Lin Manuel went on to explain that only 1 in 5 shows on Broadway make money, and that so often, we can produce an incredible product but its success is completely outside of our control. As we charge forward during this beta testing period of No Filter Network, it's a humbling reminder that whether or not our new live streaming ultimate interactive experience platform is successful isn't necessarily up to us... Sure, we can do everything in our power to put ourselves and the platform in position to succeed, but there are so many outside variables that we have absolutely no control of that may play into the ultimate impact No Filter will or will not have. Knowing this can be incredibly scary but it can also be incredibly LIBERATING!!! When we understand that overall results are often dependent on outside factors, we can quit worrying about the bullshit and put all of our time, energy and effort on the only thing we can control... DOING OUR PART. Ironically, at the end of Hamilton there is a song that brings light to the idea of just doing our part because at the end of the day and at the end of our lives, that's all we can do and no matter what, we don't have the final say... “Let me tell you what I wish I'd known When I was young and dreamed of glory You have no control Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?” We definitely don't have control over who tells our story, but so long as we are here we get to LIVE IT & write it every fucking day.

Doing Our Part for Signs, Wonders and Miracles
In chapter 9 of our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, the Apostle Paul made it clear that if you believe in Jesus Christ for salvation, it means that God chose you … you didn’t choose Him. Even so, as we heard last time when we started looking at chapter 10, Paul goes on to explains that we are not senseless pawns in the operation of our own salvation. We each have an important part to play. So far we’ve heard what our part does NOT include … and that includes a religious fervency that is based on adherence to rules and traditions. Let’s join Pastor Brian now as he picks up our study at Romans chapter 10, verse 3, and tells us more about what “Doing Our Part” means when it comes to salvation … and what doing our part is not.
In our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Romans, we come now to chapter 10 where the Apostle Paul emphasizes the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by first using the nation of Israel as an example of missing the mark, of having a misguided zeal for traditions rather than a sincere and saving heart for God. Let’s join Pastor Brian now as he picks up our study at Romans chapter 10, verse 1, and tells us what “Doing Our Part” means when it comes to salvation … and what doing our part is not.
Join us as Pastor Hugh teaches us how to most effectively use our giftings within the body of Christ, in his sermon entitled Doing Our Part
