    Formation Conversation Ep. 17 - Jerry

    In this Formation Conversation, Jerry talks about what he calls a season of remixing, familiar themes played in a different key. He takes us to India, where a pastor named Matthew stopped the church service to pull him out of the back row, and where a line of people formed in front of him asking him to lay hands on them and pray. He was convinced they had the wrong man. "In my mind, I'm saying you have no idea who you are asking to pray for you," he says. Standing in the middle of that floor, he heard one question, loudly. Why did you come here? He prayed for the woman in front of him. Then five people. Then twenty. That moment reset the rest of the trip and a good deal of what came after it. Jerry also talks honestly about the parts that are harder to say out loud. Years of depreciating his own value. Three layoffs in two years with a newborn son who had special needs. Learning, through the people at the VA, that asking for help is wisdom and not weakness. And the advocacy work he does now alongside veterans organizations. If you are struggling, you do not have to carry it alone. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988 Veterans Crisis Line: call 988, then press 1 — White Oak Christian Church Connecting people to Full Life in Jesus 📖 Explore spiritual practices with us: thewocc.com/formation 🌐 New to White Oak?
