Yeah, we're all guilty. But now we don't have to be! My guest Jane experienced that struggle when their own family went through a painful diagnosis and scare with her husband's health, and she realized that many people WANT to help but don't know how in the world to do that, so she dreamed up the platform called "Near". NEAR" is Compassion-in-Action: A Revolutionary Tool for Practical Help During Times of Loss, Sickness & Death. It's as if Meal-Train, a personalized Registry and Pinterest Ideas had a baby to help you show up for those you love going through hardship. When I heard about this revolutionary platform for helping people in often the darkest and hardest seasons of their lives, I knew I needed to have Jane share with my listeners! So enjoy listening to this, but even more than that, SHARE THIS EPISODE and go check out her side! If you're part of a church that has a care team, or simply a pastoral team, share this episode with them so they can utilize this tool for their congregation! It's so amazing, and Jane does such a great job sharing her story and how this beautiful thing came about. ABOUT (GUEST): After a devastating health crisis threatened to take Jane's husband's life, she saw how many people wanted to help but didn't know how to, and she also felt the pressure of having to guide people in how to help her. Both scenarios are not real pleasant when you have the stress of grief, loss or sickness. She took this difficult experience and turned it into a platform that will allow you to serve those you know who are suffering and LITERALLY become the hands and feet of Jesus to them.... with some guidance from NEAR.
