"Anytime Papa has pain, it reminds me of why I'm doing this." ~ Dr. Jeff Brodsky #MyStrengthIsMyStory #CreateYourNow #DrJeffBrodsky   Quotes and statements within the interview: "The number one joy I receive is when I see that someone that's being held as a slave set free and enters into a relationship with the Lord." "Forty-four years --- I haven't missed a day yet!" "And I felt that He (the Lord) was impressing on me to live barefoot for one year." "Keep going! Those children are still out there." "What's the difference between what's under my feet and what's under your shoes?" "I couldn't understand why He would take my brother and not me when I was so rotten and he was so good." "I was reading the red." "But I came to realize that whatever we do in life for joy, it's temporary." "Maybe just means 'no' until it turns to a 'yes'!" "I'm gonna use the tools that God has given me to fulfill the calling He has placed in my life with every barefoot step that I take." "As long as another child needs to be rescued, I'll be barefoot the rest of my life, doing the work God has called me to do." "Today, today alone. There are 27 million!" "But joining forces and working together, we can accomplish so much more."   What has your story gifted you? Seeing people that are in bondage set free. "To know that He's using me, my organization, and our teams, volunteers, to set "literal" captives free. What greater joy can there be to know that we're used as His tool to set somebody like that free."   Resources mentioned in the episode: Connect with Dr. Jeff Brodsky BOOK: The Least of These BOOK: Why Are You Barefoot?
