God uses His people for good works to further His Kingdom. Sometimes we think we have nothing to offer, but we do because God can use your past and your pain now, in the present. Kristy sits down with Josh McCart, a former Army paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, who talked about how there is service after the service. Josh is not in uniform anymore, but he is still on mission—and this time it’s a different kind of mission.

In this week’s episode, Edward reminds us that we are to see these situations through Jesus' eyes. Kristy also reflects on scripture and shares how we can have a compassionate heart and allow that to spur us on to compassionate action.
