#21 - My Only Aim is to Finish the Race (Yogi Taylor and Dr. Shaw)

Dr. Mark E. Shaw introduces listeners to his longtime friend and brother in Christ, Yogi Taylor, from Mississippi. Acts 20:24 is Yogi's life verse and he expounds on dying to self and living a life that is Christ-centered. Yogi speaks about disciple-making strategies with addicted men that are more than just sharing and teaching bible verses, but relationally-driven training and coaching that occurs gradually through life on life situations. Prayer is a key component of disciple-making as well -- not just praying for them but modeling prayer by praying with them. He likes to find out what the men he disciples enjoy doing, what they are gifted in doing, and helps them to see God's plan in it all. Yogi has been married to his wife Kelli for nearly 18 years and they have four children. Connecting the hope of the gospel to the heart of addiction: theaddictionconnection.org
