Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge, but we're all on this journey together.

We're praying that this podcast inspires you, helps you better understand God's word, and builds your faith.

This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter.

Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with today's Devo writer, Mr. Parker Primrose.

Hi, Emma. Thanks for having me on.

So glad to have you back. You did such a good job the first time when I saw your Devo roll around.

I was like, man, we got to get Parker back in here. And last time you shared your story. We'll link that in the description.

So today, I thought it would be fun

if you just shared a little bit about what you do for work and why you love it. Yeah, so I get to work

on the city engagement team here at Watermark, which within our larger external focus team.

I love it. And so for those who are unfamiliar with Watermark or maybe less familiar,

essentially you work in the

missions department. Yeah, pretty much. We get to engage with everything going on outside of the

walls of our church. Love it. And for me, God has given me a big heart for community building,

both people being fully known and fully loved, and also community development, getting to help

raise up those around us. And so for a long time, I saw that solely through the prism of nonprofit worked.

It's easy to bring people together and to do good.

Sure.

But God did a work in my heart and helped me see the local church is God's plan A.

Who better, who else than the body of Christ to get to show up for their neighbor?

And we get to model the gospel in word and deed in the way that we care for those around us.

And so God invited me into the work that we're doing here in which we do get to go out and reach our city.
