Summary

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from Working With God by Gardner Hunting, published in 1934.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: What do you suppose those people got out of contact with you? Do you know? Of course you don't. You think that they forget you. Well, they don't. They are just like you. They wake up in the night and think. Their hearts go down or their spirits rise because of something you did or said or looked, just as your courage ebbs or flows because of something they gave you.

A word, an act, a glance, an attitude, a sigh, a laugh, a sob, a mean trick, an act of self-sacrifice (one of yours) was stamped upon their hearts and souls. Something you did, something you said, something you were, now makes them set their teeth and clench their hands, or shrug and laugh, or cower and shrink, or give and give. Do you not think so? Well, then, you are much more important than you know.

2:05.6	The idea expressed was that whatever influence we have on others, or in the world at large, will always be almost wholly unknown to us.
2:10.6	Our unconscious influence will always be greater than our conscious influence, just as the part of the iceberg underwater

2:42.1	It may affect him profoundly and extend on throughout his whole life, for good or for ill.
2:50.2	A harsh word to his mother may lay the foundation for his attitude toward her, toward all women.
