They believe in the potential for their community to heal from racism and for individuals to overcome pain and bitterness. They emphasize the importance of a heart-centered relationship with Jesus Christ and spreading love and compassion to others. The speaker encourages listeners to rise above problems and politics and focus on their potential to make a difference. Welcome to Faith Alive in 5, the 5-minute gospel. Now here's your host, Dr. Faye. When I was growing up in the small community of Humphrey, Arkansas, I discovered something that, about the community, that was so unique and special and I held it so closely in my heart, as a matter of fact, so closely. In fact, I, as I got older, I didn't realize that it was changing. I didn't realize that my being away and returning, it would be a different community. It was not the same people. It was not the same energy. A lot of things had happened. The schools had closed. A lot of changes had taken place. However, what I found in the midst of the changes was there were still some very good people doing some very good things there and that there were some people actually who cared about people, loving, kind, generous people who would reach out in community and would comfort those who were grieving, comfort those who had lost something, and really cared whether someone was fed or whether how people were living. And they don't always come off as if they're caring, but what happens is that when one is in trouble, you find people actually coming to the aid. And I celebrate that hometown kind of life, that hometown kind of spirit and attitude that people have. I don't want us to ever lose that as our Tansyns, because it is so genuine, the people helping other people. Now, I know we have some racism issues. We have some racism issues right here in my own community, in my own town. We've got some racism issues globally. We have issues. Why we have issues? We got people. And wherever people are, there are problems. The people bring problems. But there's also another P that we don't often think about, people, problems, policies. But let me tell you something, there's also potential. People, problems, policy, potential. There's potential for change. There's always potential for change. That may be my greatest weakness and greatest strength at the same time, because I always see potential in people. While I have returned to Arkansas, I met some amazing people over the last few years, people that are impactful, people that I hold close and dear to my heart, so many good friends, and continue to meet them, business owners around the community, as I head up this advocacy program to help be a voice for those who are in long-term care, short-term care, assisted living facilities, independent living facilities, those who attend the Grand Prairie Job Center. These are a population in our community that sometimes their voices are so silent that we forget they're actually here. And so in this effort to raise up that consciousness, raise the consciousness of the advocacy program and the voice that must be heard, there has been some opposition. But let me tell you something, what I know, that they that be with me are more than they that be with them, and there is a God-centered, heart-centered people in our community that are saying, yes, yes, yes, do it, do it, do it. And I want to tell you guys, I appreciate you so much, you business owners. Some of you are in politics. Some of you are pastors. Some of you work in the local marketplaces of the community. And I want to tell you, I really appreciate you. Some of you are in health care, and just different backgrounds, different races of people that are all celebrating this advocacy program. And I want you to know that I love you so much, and I see potential in you. I see potential in my community to be healed of racism. I see potential in people to be healed of the pain, the hurt, the bitterness, and the resentfulness. I see potential all around me. And because I'm hopeful, I see this, and I see potential, I know that there's an answer. And the answer begins with our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. And when we receive him as our Lord and Savior, and I'm not speaking of just being a pew sitter or pulpiter, but I'm talking about a heart-centered relationship with Christ, so that the love of God, who he is love, can come forth through us, permeate off every fiber of our being, thereby raising our awareness of his presence and what we can't give away, what we don't possess. And we can pour that same love, that same compassion into those around us. And it's no longer skin color or gender. It is about our being of service to humanity. So let us rise together from being people, problem, and politics to potential. I'm Dr. Faye, your pastor coach. Thank you for tuning in to today's broadcast. Dr. Faye would love hearing from you.
