Kathie Lee Gifford joins the podcast to talk about her own walk with Jesus and how she was inspired by Billy Graham to take back the airwaves for Jesus to potentially reach millions of people. She talks about how she encountered Jesus for the first time and He received His promise that if she trusted Him, He’d make something beautiful out of her life.

Through her unique position within the entertainment industry, Kathie has been able to reach people in a special way. She talks about how God positioned and equipped her to do this work for His kingdom. Throughout her life, the Lord has guided her in countless conversations with people who are hurting and taught her how to show love and kindness to those people.

Kathie shares how finding common ground and really listening to other people can open up spiritual conversations and opportunities to connect with them more deeply. She talks more about those kinds of conversations and stories in her book, The Jesus I Know. Seeing other people in that way helps her to love like Jesus loved.

Through her trips to Israel, her relationships, and her study of the Bible, Kathie Lee has soaked her life in the Scriptures and shares some encouragement for others looking to do the same.

Excerpts From This Episode

2:33 – 2:50 “There is no secular and spiritual. There is God’s cosmos and He so loved the world – all of it – that He gave His only begotten Son. And I think we do a total disservice to God and His purpose and His Kingdom when we put limits on things.”

5:06 – 5:52 “I’m glad I did not grow up in the church. I know that’s going to be a tough statement for some people to deal with. The church is not a building; the church is the body of Christ. The Greek word means movement or gathering of believers, but there was no building in first century AD that they met in.”

7:45 – “When you walk with your Saviour God and best friend for as many years as I have, you start to long to be more like Him. And He set the standard for how we are to treat people. I think what we fail to do is we don’t listen as much as we should.”

13:49 – 14:14 “The Lord taught me a long time ago to find common ground with people because common ground is sacred ground. And if you can find something you can talk about just human being to human being it leads to openings in the Spiritual realm.”
