Ep. 31: Balancing Faith, Work, and Community: A Conversation on Practical Ministry

Paige C. Clark and Mari Ramsey discuss the challenges and strategies of engaging non-Christians in Christian community events, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and overcoming barriers like denomination and community perceptions. Mari shares how their organization hosts events outside the church to involve the community, such as a back-to-school bash and an American Ninja Warrior community event. They also discuss the significance of fostering relationships with God, the importance of giving the first 10% of one's day to God, and the role of worship in spiritual growth. Mari advises taking advantage of what one has and growing with it, sharing personal experiences of overcoming challenges and achieving success through faith and mentorship.

 

About Mari Ramsey:

I am a Youth Minister. I’ve traveled the country sharing my story in foster care and overcoming adversity. I work for a nonprofit now that serves the foster-care scenario. I do what I do now to give back what God has blessed me with. I worked those other jobs to invest into the ministry which led to alot of overtime and sleepless nights just so I could create a better version of myself. Now I’ve worked my self into a vocation that is truly ministry at heart!
