In this powerful episode, I sit down with Norman Murray — founder of Building Bridges LLC and host of the Building Bridges: One Act of Love at a Time podcast. Norman is a Christian Life Coach, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, a soon-to-be ordained minister, and most importantly, a faithful follower of Christ.
Norman shares how his ministry was born the night of the George Floyd tragedy, igniting a passion to bridge the gap between the church and the world. With six years of preaching under his belt, he opens up about his calling, reminding us that God doesn’t call the equipped—He equips the called.
We dive deep into conversations about the importance of submitting to God, the truth that you can’t run from His purpose, and the transformative power of truly knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior. Norman also shares his testimony of overcoming two heart attacks and how faith carried him through.
Together, we reflect on James 1:8, the dangers of a divided heart, the need to stop judging, and the power of truth over lies. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that love builds bridges, and that surrendering to God changes everything.
