A "Hero Maker" is a person who shifts from being the hero to making others the hero in the unfolding story of God’s kingdom. Jesus is the ultimate Hero Maker! The focus of his ministry on earth was on investing in the lives of twelve apprentices to equip and empower them to carry his mission forward. And these twelve apprentices weren’t just heroes themselves; they became Hero Makers too.Support the show

Join us as we explore the narrative of racial difference, mass incarceration, and racial unrest in the wake of numerous black lives lost. We discuss the remedy of walking for both physical and spiritual health, so that we can live a much healthier life and journey closer to Jesus.Through the biblical story of the man brought to Jesus for healing, we uncover the power of grace and transformation.
