B.L.E.S.S with Dave Ferguson & Jeff Stark

In this episode of Faith Together, hosted by Lindsey Bush from Olivet Nazarene University’s Center for Faith and Family, the focus is on practical ways families can embody Christian hospitality through the "Be a Blessing" series. Joined by Dave Ferguson, author of Bless, and Dr. Jeff Stark, a missiologist and theology professor, the discussion centers on the five "B.L.E.S.S." practices: Begin with Prayer, Listen, Eat, Serve, and Share Your Story. They explore each practice with personal stories and tips, showing how these steps foster connection and genuine love for others.

Dave and Jeff share insights into the power of simple actions—praying for neighbors, listening with curiosity, sharing meals, finding ways to serve, and authentically sharing personal stories. They emphasize that these acts of kindness don't just strengthen families but help build meaningful relationships within the broader community. The episode wraps up with an encouragement for families to incorporate these practices into daily life, especially during the holiday season, as a way to make a positive impact in the lives of others.
