Today's conversation with Shane Stanford will leave you with a lot to think about, a lot to pray about, and a lot to talk about. Shane is the CEO and founder of the Moore-West Center for Applied Theology and JourneyWise, a content network that seeks to equip people to love Jesus and to love like Jesus. He has been a United Methodist Pastor for over 30 years, including time as senior pastor at Christ UMC in Memphis, TN, and other churches in Florida, Mississippi, and North Carolina. He is also the author of Making Life Matter: Embracing the Joy in Every Day, What the Prayers of Jesus Tell Us about the Heart of God, The Eight Blessings: Rediscovering the Beatitudes, and the upcoming JourneyWise: Redeeming the Broken and Winding Roads We Travel.Shane is very open and honest about his story. His childhood diagnosis of hemophilia led to him contracting HIV and hepatitis-C after a blood transfusion, which drastically changed the course of his life. The social stigma surrounding HIV almost stopped him from being ordained in the United Methodist Church, and led him to some difficult moments in his first appointment in the Mississippi Conference. Shane continues to hold on to the words of his grandfather, to make every day matter and to live his life so that every step he takes--no matter how many he has--matters.Resources:Learn more about JourneyWiseOrder JourneyWise: Redeeming the Broken and Winding Roads We TravelBuy other books written by ShaneListen to the You Matter with Shane Stanford podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts

The Bible Doesn't Say That Pt. 3Mark 5:21-43There will always be a limit to what you can know and do based on your own abilities. What we want from this phrase is to make people responsible for their own actions. The problem with that is there's always a limit. The thing that we cannot do for ourselves is to save ourselves. We cannot fulfill the requirements that sin and brokenness have brought into our lives. God doesn't care what we can do for ourselves, and ultimately, He had to do it for us through Jesus Christ. Sermon by Rev. Shane Stanford
