160. Watching Blessings Flow from Community Ripples | Orlando Barros
from Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma · host Heather Gaffney - Author, Artist, and YouTuber; Storyteller, Warrior, Survivor, Thriver & Faithful Catholic
Welcome to Episode 160 of the Warrior Words podcast! This week, I have a fantastic conversation with a man who has had an incredible experience of community and the Body of Christ. Some members of that community were his family and friends. Others were complete strangers, one of whom has now become a lifelong friend. Without this stranger, our conversation may never have happened. Orlando Barros left home early one morning for a simple bike ride. What happened next changed so many things in his life, but it also reinforced his beliefs in the power of community and service to others. Have a listen and hear how the ripples of a life interruption radiated out and are still creating new ripples today. I also encourage you to take advantage of the offer that he presents at the end of the episode, especially if you work in any ministry at your church. Perhaps even pick it up as a gift for your pastor!
