12/31/24 • 56 min
Ever wondered how a simple childhood prayer can set a lifelong path of inspiration and service? Join us as we uncover the remarkable story of Jay and Julie St Clair, spiritual mentors who have enriched countless lives, including my own. Introduced to them by my daughter at a youth group gathering, I was immediately struck by their heartfelt dedication to nurturing the spiritual growth of young people. Our discussion traces their extraordinary four-decade journey in ministry, from establishing Neighborhood Lifehouse to their transformative work at God's Resort in Joplin, Missouri. Jay shares an intimate glimpse into his spiritual awakening, revealing how a pivotal camp sermon ignited his devotion to serving God and others.
The episode also shines a spotlight on a special guest whose life has been intricately shaped by a legacy of evangelism and compassion. Growing up with an evangelistic father, they recount vivid memories of faith-filled conversations in unexpected places like elevators and national parks. These formative experiences instilled in them a profound mission to reach beyond church walls and touch the hearts of the broken and marginalized. Together with their partner, they have embraced this shared calling, contributing significantly to initiatives like God's Resort. We explore how their unwavering commitment to seeing others through the eyes of Christ has enriched their journey and impacted their community.
Discover the heart and soul of God's Resort, a beacon of hope for those overcoming life's challenges. This Christ-centered community fosters spiritual and personal growth, aiding individuals transitioning from generational addiction towards independence. By emphasizing stability across nine essential life areas, God's Resort provides a nurturing environment that champions love, community, and support. We dive into the importance of genuine connections in spiritual healing, sharing stories of transformation and the critical role of prayer and local church participation. As we wrap up, we share our gratitude for the volunteers and partners who enhance this ministry's reach, offering blessings of grace and peace to all who join us on this journey.
