One time I was doing an event and after the show this really old lady came up to me and she goes,

Honey, I've fought with cancer for five years. I've been taking chemo in the last two hours.

I forgot about my pain. I forgot about my cancer and I just laughed and I feel so good. I'm like,

this is exactly what I'm doing this.

Welcome to the Jesus Calling Podcast. Are you one of those people who finds it hard to ask others

for help? Though we might find ourselves facing things alone or maybe we just want to tough it out

and not burden anyone else with our problems, we should remember. When we ask for help,

including help from God, we honor those in whom we place our trust, giving them a chance to joyfully

give of themselves to support us and whatever we're facing. Our guests this week each had moments

in their lives where they had to face that they couldn't rely on their own strength. They needed

help to overcome the problems in front of them. Nazareth is a Christian comedian who actively looks

to bring laughter to places all over the world that need it most. Michelle Kushat is an author and

speaker who knows the lonely places of suffering and is passionate about sharing ways to find joy

on the other side. Let's start with Nazareth's story. My name is Nazareth. I was born in the Holy Land

in Nazareth, Israel and grew up in Kuwait and moved to the US and I'm a professional comedian

and I use my comedy to encourage believers but also to turn people's heart to Christ.

When I was three years old, my family moved to Kuwait to find a better living. I grew up in a

nominal Greek Orthodox Christian family. My parents only went to church probably Easter or Christmas.

That's a kind of upbringing I had. Good family, good morals, but Christ was not in the picture at all.
