In this soul-stirring episode of From Principles to Practice, Apostle Dr. Ivon Valerie triumphantly returns after a two-week break with a powerful message that challenges us to reconsider our role within our communities. It’s not just about what we receive from those around us—it’s about how we show up and contribute.
In “When Community Calls Are You Ready to Answer?” Dr. Valerie reflects on the deep truths of Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 and the two-way nature of community. Too many of us are searching for connection, support, and belonging without realizing the crucial part we play in building and sustaining that community.
Dr. Valerie dives into the tough questions with raw honesty and biblical wisdom: What are you actively contributing? How are you showing up for those around you? When your community needs you—are you ready to answer the call? This episode will inspire you to shift from a mindset of receiving to one of giving, reminding you that the power of community lies not just in what we get but in how we serve.
Tune in for a thought-provoking and heart-stirring discussion that will encourage you to step boldly and purposefully into your God-given role within your community.
