This Hurts Good - Part 2
Summary
Joyce Meyer teaches that true discipleship requires dying to selfishness and greed by becoming an aggressive giver, using the parable of the grain of wheat to illustrate how sacrifice yields a rich harvest. She outlines biblical ways to deny self, emphasizing the release of revenge and trusting God to provide double recompense for past wounds. The episode also features a segment on Hand of Hope’s work in Zimbabwe, where donated food bags are repurposed into building materials to construct a preschool and church, demonstrating how generosity creates lasting community impact.
