The other day while having lunch with my friend Parker, we got to sharing some stories of people we know who have had some incredible life-change. It was one of the moments where we were both reminded of how powerful and important it is to engage into others’ stories…because stories shape our lives and remind us that each of us a part of something much bigger than ourselves!
One of my more recent friends is Jeff Greer. Jeff is an amazing song-writer and singer, who has a passion for those in our world caught in the injustice of slavery, and for the local homeless here in Seattle. Specifically, the Nickelsville community in the UW district. A community of homeless people who have been treated unfairly by the city and Mayor Nickels.
Jeff has been spending his Monday nights with these people singing, listening, and learning. Recently, Jeff shared this video on Facebook. It’s a story…one that matters.
Jeff is a good man, whom I believe God is using more than he realizes. People like Beau are seeing Jesus through guys like Jeff who have slowed down just enough to give his Monday’s to be with the homeless, and now they are the ones I’m sure who are encouraging, teaching and giving hope to Jeff!
Funny how that always seems to happen…makes me wonder why I don’t serve more!
Love and Peace.
