Episode Summary:
In this powerful episode of Know Their Story, host Jimmy Houck, Outreach Minister at Bethany Church, sits down with Chinedu, a passionate servant-leader at the Hands of Grace Gospel Pantry, a collaborative ministry between Bethany Church and Grace Baptist Church. Together, they reflect on how gospel conversations, deep compassion, and simple availability can open hearts and transform lives.
Chinedu shares his story of coming from Nigeria to the U.S., finding community through the church, and how God uses everyday people to carry His message of love and truth. Whether handing out food or simply listening to someone’s struggles, he believes that every act of faithfulness can be used by the Spirit to do eternal work.
Key themes explored include:
✔️ How listening connects us to what the Holy Spirit is already doing
✔️ The spiritual richness of partnering across cultures through Hands of Grace
✔️ Overcoming fear and embracing simple, Spirit-led steps in evangelism
✔️ Why availability, not expertise, is the most powerful gift in ministry
✔️ The deep joy and growth that comes from watching God move in people’s lives
This conversation will challenge and inspire you to consider how God might want to use you—whether in your workplace, neighborhood, or city—to know someone’s story and share His.
