Hello everyone. This is Deacon Steve Greco. Hi, atop the tower of hope in beautiful Christ cathedral. And wow, am I excited? I'm always excited to have Katie Hughes on our show, because she loves the Lord is an evangelist is called the mission call to live out her faith. She's in charge of our internet, radio, spirit filled radio and operations and our podcasts. Welcome back to the show, Katie,
Katie Hughes: 1:32
thank you so excited,
Deacon Steve: 1:34
I'm excited. I'm so excited. This particular show is called Call to Mission. We are called to live out our faith as priests, prophet and king. And I just want to take a look for a second at Matthew 28, where it's a commissioning of disciples and we're called to be missionary disciples. We're called to live out our faith. And Jesus with the disciples went to galley went to a mountain. And he said, All power of Heaven Earth have been given to Me in verse 18, and following, Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit, teaching them observe all I've commanded you. And behold, I'm with you until the end of age. And of course, the similar thing in Mark and acts of the apostles, the first chapter, you know, we're called, to make a difference in bringing Jesus to people wherever we go, your thoughts, gay,
Katie Hughes: 2:35
amen. And this goes to everyone, whether you're washing the dishes in the kitchen, or taking the dog out for a walk, there are no excuses. We are called and God puts people in our lives, whatever we're doing, and family members, and we can make a huge difference in a soul. Like, whether it's your child, whether it's your spouse, a friend, or a complete stranger that needs to hear about Jesus,
Deacon Steve: 3:04
my brothers and sisters, no matter where you are. I evangelize in grocery stores, airplanes, or restaurants walking down the street, wherever it might be. We are called to be Jesus to be the light of the world. We are called the holiness. But how do we do that? What starts with surrender? We are called to be holy, and it starts with surrender. We have to surrender our life to Jesus Christ. We have to hunger and thirst for him. Matthew five, six, Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness. For them, there'll be filled. There's no way we can go on mission, unless we're ready for it. And the way we're ready for it is by saying yes to Jesus,
Katie Hughes: 3:45
amen. And the Lord when you say, Yes, hold on, and buckle up. He's gonna take you for an amazing ride with him.
Deacon Steve: 3:56
Now, I've known you now for I don't kno
