"Coughing Up Blood In The Wild" | David Brainerd | Ordinary Legends 008

from Idlewild Students · host Idlewild Baptist Church

In this episode, we explore the life of David Brainerd, a missionary who died at twenty-nine after spending years alone in the wilderness preaching to Native Americans—often without a translator, frequently without fruit, and always coughing up blood from tuberculosis. His story shows us what it means to keep going when there are no visible results, to find strength in prayer when you're completely alone, and to give everything you have to Jesus even when it costs you everything.
