Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian HaleSpeak For YourselfIf we make a daily practice of the first four daily habits, after a while, others will ask us why we are doing what we are doing. We need to be able to answer in the first person.
Why Are You Doing This?
When you go beyond your job description and serve others, they will be curious. In their mind, they will try to understand your actions through worldly motives like “he’s just trying to get ahead.” But when your service springs from love for Jesus, they won’t have a logical explanation to connect your actions...2025-03-2604 min

The fourth daily habit is to serve others. This may be the most difficult activity. After all, the Greek word most often translated to mean ‘servant’ is also translated to mean ‘minister.’ Therefore, we need to rewire our brains so we can remember that leading others is really the same as serving others.
Concentrate on Serving Others
As we go through our day, it is easy to focus on our own tasks and to-dos. But often, we only see what’s right in front of us. For a change of pace, concentrate on serving others today. To...2025-03-2505 min

When I ask others why they follow Jesus, I often get answers like “because he loves me.” While that answer is true, it doesn’t explain things very well to people who don’t follow Jesus.
In Mark 5:1–20, Jesus has an encounter with a man filled with an army of demons. Jesus heals the man, but a herd of pigs die in the process. The people of the region don’t want Jesus to stick around, so they ask him to leave. As he is leaving, the man who was...2025-03-2106 min

He went on to live in submission to his parents, to learn, grow up, teach, serve, suffer, and die for us. Everything he did was for us.

Day 1 – Pray
Jesus is active right now in the life of every person you know, meet, see, and interact with. Throughout this reading plan and every day thereafter, we want to challenge one another to make ourselves available to God daily. We’re available for him to use us to do whatever he suggests in the life of every person we meet.

If that doesn’t sound very radical . . . it really is. To be humble in this day and age is to defy all cultural norms. Our society (like most societies in history) holds up performance and public opinion as the two great defining bastions of self-worth.

Who did you bring with you?
Read by Andi and Brian Hale
I have this recurring dream that one day I will be standing before God, and He will ask me two questions.
The first: “Do you know Me?”
The second: “Who did you bring with you?
I think the first question is asked to establish a Christian identity. The second is to see if I’ve done what is the primary mission of all Christians on earth.
And Jesus came and said to...2024-02-2604 min

A Mission to Love
Read by Andi and Brian Hale
Sometimes nonbelievers are experienced at debating. They want to test the authenticity of your beliefs. For natural opportunities to tell others about Jesus, you have to be prepared and knowledgeable on some level.
At the same time, don’t be fooled into thinking that God cannot use you even if you lack understanding of all aspects in the faith. When we first find Jesus in our lives, we get fired-up to tell everyone. That fire sometimes fad...2024-02-2604 min

Inspiring others to become Christians requires reaching out and motivating people to think about the importance of God in their lives, but you have to be prayerfully wise about your communication. You have to adjust your approach to each individual because we all have different personalities and experiences.
Too many people have been put off by overzealous Christians who probably had good intentions but reached out with poorly conceived strategies. They may have come across as pushy or more concerned...2024-02-2504 min

My natural progression into serving as the hands and feet of Jesus included some early “walking around” Christianity—with a dog. Starting when I was seventeen years old, I would go out in my wheelchair to take our dog for a walk and strike up conversations with almost everyone I met. I don’t know whether it was the cuteness of our dog, Seth (a Jack Russell King Charles Cavalier mix terrier), or just me, but there always seemed to be plenty of folks...2024-02-2504 min

Read by Andi and Brian Hale
You might be wondering, How can a person born without any limbs consider himself to be the hands and feet of Jesus on earth?
I agree, hands down, that this is a very good question. I asked myself the same thing many times as I was growing up. What purpose could God have for a man with no limbs?
These words from Saint Teresa of Avila have had a huge impact on me over the years:
