Powerful Kickoff to PowerLunch

I’ve always admired Jim Kelly from afar. He was a great football player...tough, hard-nosed, competitive, relentless. He was the face of the Buffalo Bills franchise and for good reason. Following the guidance of Head Coach Marv Levy, he kept that team at the top for a long time...unfortunately for Jim, the Cowboys were a better team...But that doesn’t take away from this guy’s Hall of Fame career.

Well, I admire J
im even more after having met him and his wife, Jill, and after hearing their hearts and the story of their son, Hunter, at PowerLunch today. Hunter was born with Krabbe disease, a rare terminal illness.

But though he was unable to speak, his short life spoke volumes and helped to restore the couple’s marriage and faith. This is the story of changed lives throug
h the powerful witness of a little boy. Jill wrote a memoir about the precious life of their Hunter in Without a Word: How a Boy’s Unspoken Love Changed Everything. Pick up a copy.

If you live in the area, be sure to make plans to join us next week. M
y good friend David Jeremiah will be our guest speaker. I know you’ve heard of David and you’ve heard his program Turning Point on Christian radio. He’s the Senior Pastor of Shadow Mountain ommunity Church in El Cajon, California...and an incredible writer and Bible teacher.

Check out our lineup for the rest of the year and follow PowerLunch on Twitter.
