Listen "The Fireman's Promise"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when ordinary people choose extraordinary compassion? Today's episode tells the deeply moving story of Billy, a six-year-old boy with terminal leukemia whose simple wish to become a fireman triggered an unexpected chain of events.When a heartbroken mother in Phoenix approached her local fire department asking if her dying son could simply ride around the block in a fire engine, Fireman Bob's response changed everything: "We can do better than that." What followed wasn't just the fulfillment of a child's dream but a profound demonstration of humanity at its finest. Proverbs 3:27 tells us: "Never walk away from someone who deserves help. Your hand is God's hand for that person." This story challenges us all to recognize opportunities where we can say, "We can do better than that" in a world filled with fear and turmoil.Join me every Monday through Friday for more stories and insights that will help you start your day by Starting Right.
