Kick off "Radical Christmas: Love in Action" by exploring the shift from superficial "gaze" (looking) to profound seeing that sparks compassion. Personal tales—like a timely hamper amid burnout or elevator dad panic—show how small acts (texts, meals) deeply impact because they truly see needs. Critique modern "professional looking" via scrolling/judgment/bias (choir miss story), quoting Christine Caine: "You can't unsee." Seeing costs but echoes God's Christmas act: Sending Jesus to our mess (Jn 3:16). Practical: Hampers/vouchers say "I see you"; kids' market disciples generosity. Challenge: Offer what's in hand—small multiplies like boy's lunch. Not seasonal—lifestyle love defies loneliness/anxiety. Prayer invites surrender, seeing Jesus' gaze. Beyond gaze: Acts change everything, revealing hope.

What is a Servant of God
In the final episode of the "For" series, we explore the transformative power of servanthood, inspired by Jesus washing the disciples’ feet (John 13:4-5 [00:00:19]). Tim and Michelle share their 25-year journey of living a “towels over titles” life, from Michelle’s prayers that led Tim to faith ([00:05:30 - 00:07:02]) to their work in kids’ ministry, chaplaincy, and missions in Thailand ([00:16:55], [00:18:31]). Michelle vulnerably admits feeling she had “nothing” to offer but learned to ask God, “What have I got in my toolbox?” ([00:26:43]), encouraging everyone to use their unique gifts. Tim emphasizes acting on God’s promptings, whether through cooking meals ([00:22:38]), supporting refugees ([00:18:31]), or one-on-one conversations with students ([00:20:53]). They challenge us to prioritize people over tasks, even in messy moments like parenting ([00:24:52]), and to serve daily with what’s in our hands ([00:13:57]). Discover how small acts of kindness—local or global—reflect Jesus’ heart and transform lives. Join the Thailand mission trip ([00:32:19]) and ask God what’s in your toolbox to serve today! Key Takeaways: Servanthood starts with asking God, “Who do you say I am?” ([00:28:12]). Small acts, like a meal or a conversation, echo Jesus’ example ([00:20:53], [00:22:38]). Involve kids in ministry to model servanthood ([00:23:11]). Serve locally and globally with what’s in your hand ([00:13:57], [00:18:31]).
