Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Jesus Calling podcast.

As we approach Christmas, it's nice to reflect on the gift God gave us through Jesus and

how He served the people in His circle and beyond and how He shows up for us through

others in ways we'd never expect.

Have you ever received a gift that was so intentional it brought you to tears or maybe

you've even given a gift that ended up having a profound effect on someone else's life?

This holiday season, we're talking to several people who know a few things about meaningful

gifts and what it means to them to provide a place of business in the community for people

to find gifts and resources that lift others up and what it's like to be in service to the

people around us, especially at this time of the year.

First up, we'll hear from Donna McCullough of Dove Christian Supply.

My name is Donna McCullough and I am a second generation owner of Dove Christian Supply

in Dothan, Alabama.

My husband and I actually took over the business five years ago.

His parents started the business back in 1982 and we started working there shortly after

we got married.

Here I am 30 years later on most, I guess, working in the Christian book store that I used

to shop at when I was a teenager, growing up, sharing God's love, encouragement with

my community, providing Christian resources, you know, just trying to encourage this world

that needs all the encouragement it can get, to be honest.

We've learned so much over the years working with his mom and dad and preparing us to

take over.
