What if the difference between strained relationships and real breakthrough is a single shift: stop pushing your plan and start partnering with God? We explore how Jesus saw people—Matthew at the tax booth, Zacchaeus in a tree—and how that same posture can transform fatherhood, marriage, and the way we meet strangers. Instead of lecturing our kids or convincing our spouse, we learn to ask better questions, listen for what the Father is highlighting, and move with love and timing that open hearts.
We unpack John 5 as a ministry blueprint: do what the Father is doing. That single principle reframes daily prayer—“Father, show me what You’re doing”—and invites spiritual gifts to serve people, not our ego. Healing, wisdom, courage, and patient love become normal when our motive is to care for the person in front of us.
If you’re a dad or granddad, this becomes a playbook for connection: see your child the way God does, ask questions that uncover the story beneath behavior, correct with hope, and celebrate small steps. If you’re a spouse, trade control for collaboration and make mercy your first move. And if you’re simply hungry to make a difference, expect God to meet you in ordinary moments with extraordinary grace.
