  • The Lost Art of Blessing Others

    The Lost Art of Blessing Others
    Jul 4 2026

    In this episode, I teach and encourage you to bless people.

    A blessing is expressing, in faith, the good you desire God to accomplish in another person's life.

    Four parts of a blessing:

    1. Name
    2. Invocation (Invite God's action): "May the Lord..."
    3. Petition (Ask for God's gift): "...give you success..."
    4. Situation (Connect it to their life.): "...as you begin your new job."

    Example:

    • "David, may the Lord give you success as you begin your new role at work."
    • "Sarah, the Lord surround you with His peace during this difficult season."
    • "Ted, may you see the good in people, be gentle with your words, and kind in your actions.
