Pradeep Thoppil is very aware of his “Yes” to the calling Jesus put on his heart as a husband, a father, and a son of God. He has been intentional about building authentic fraternity with his brothers in Christ, and this episode highlights his commitment to others as he shows his love, support, and prayers for Jeff and his son, Benny Pro, who is currently battling brain cancer.
The conversation sparks Paul to share Psalm 18:17-20
He reached down from on high and seized me, drew me out of the deep waters.
He rescued me from my mighty enemy, from foes too powerful for me.
They attacked me on my day of distress, but the LORD was my support.
He set me free in the open; he rescued me because he loves me.
Pradeep points out that through Benny Pro’s battle, others are being brought to know Jesus.
Pradeep finishes the episode by asking each of us to make a resolution for the week ahead. He suggests that we all find a specific way to take the higher Christ road when someone else takes the low blow.
