    The Experience That Changed Our Lives and Marriage Forever | Bruce & Kristi Buttles

    What would happen if we, as a society, moved from an attitude of consumer, a mindset of me-first, and chasing our own wants and desires, and chose the path that leads us to places unknown, to serve people not in our daily routine, and require us to give our time and effort in ways that were not part of our plan? What would it take for this massive life-shift to take hold of our individual hearts and minds and permanently pivot them toward a greater good? The events that took place one fateful day is something Bruce and I never thought we'd share publicly. Now, we are speaking out in hopes it will encourage others to look at life through a different lens. This episode is extremely personal - both in what happened to us and how it changed our lives and continues to impact us years later. Everything told in this episode is true and accurate facts. May God use it for his glory and the good of us all.
