Episode Synopsis

Have you ever witnessed a classroom lesson so powerful it left students in tears? Today's episode of Starting Right shares a remarkable story that will transform how you understand sacrifice and grace.Danny Mac tells "The Parable of the Donuts," where a religion professor orchestrates an unforgettable demonstration. Steve, a freshman football player, agrees to perform push-ups so his classmates can enjoy donuts. As each student receives their treat, Steve must complete ten push-ups—regardless of whether students want the donut or not. This powerful illustration challenges us to recognize the tremendous gift we've been offered and the foolishness of leaving such a precious gift unclaimed. As the professor wisely notes, "Not all sermons are preached in words." Some spiritual truths can only be truly understood through experience rather than explanation.JWe would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text MessageSupport the show
