About this episode

Br. Jamie Nelson discusses how God can use the 'leftovers' of our lives, including our failures, for greater purposes.

We carry around pieces of ourselves that we may label as our failures or, at the very least, no longer relevant to the people we’ve become. But God finds a way to make use of those leftovers. Br. Jamie Nelson encourages us to look at the pieces of our lives as leftovers to be gathered up and offered to God, and to others.
