The Gift of Help

📌 Episode 1 Summary: In the kickoff to the series Building Relationships: Old and New, Danny shares how a backyard project—assembling a gazebo with countless pieces—turned into more than just construction. With the help of his father-in-law, step-daughter, and others, the project became a picture of how God designed us to live in community. Through Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, we’re reminded that asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s the foundation for building stronger bonds. 📝 Show Notes – Episode 1: The Gift of Help Welcome to Episode 1 of our three-part series, Building Relationships: Old and New.
