When you're a servant, you're making a powerful statement.

We're never more like Satan than when we're serving out of a desire to be recognized,

and we're never more like Jesus than when we're serving with no need for recognition,

no reputation seeking, just wanting to lay down our lives for his sake and

others.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Tuesday, June 9th, 2015.

Over the last six programs, we've been in a series called Serving Like the Savior.

We've seen some incredible examples of servants through the Bible.

You're about to hear about some incredible modern day servants.

We'll hear a conversation Nancy had with some friends who listened to Nancy Teach on

Servanthood.

You'll hear from Holly Eliff, Judy Hurt, and Kim Wagner.

And you'll hear from Kathy Helvey, who has gone home to be with the Lord since this recording

was made.

She was a servant through

the end of her days. Nancy begins with an example. We've been talking about the qualities of a

servant's heart, what it means to be a servant of Christ, and then to serve others, diaconos,

to minister to the needs of others. I've been blessed by your servant's heart. Kathy, I still have in my

freezer a loaf of banana bread that showed up at my front door one day with a precious card from

you, and I'm getting ready to enjoy that. I thought it might have sat up there for a month while you were

gone. No, it didn't. And that was just such a little thing, that's such a big thing and so timely. And I've been blessed by different ways that you women around this table have been a servant to me and to others. As you think of a servant's heart, who comes to mind? How have you seen somebody demonstrate the servant's heart of Christ in their ministry within the body of Christ?

The first person for me is my mother.
