Listen "The Hot Dog Seller's Lesson"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever noticed how quickly your outlook can change based on who you're listening to? Today's powerful parable about a roadside hot dog vendor reveals this truth in vivid detail.The story follows an elderly man with poor hearing and eyesight who builds a thriving hot dog business through simple, enthusiastic promotion. Without access to news or social media, he focuses solely on making excellent hot dogs and his business flourishes. Everything changes when his college-educated son returns home warning of recession, job losses, and financial disaster. Despite seeing no evidence of these problems in his own business, the vendor cuts back on inventory and advertising. Predictably, his sales plummet – not because of external economic conditions, but because he allowed negative influences to change his behavior.Today's episode reminds us to be mindful of our influences and to ground ourselves in God's unchanging promises rather than alarming headlines. Join us every weekday morning for a powerful start to your day that will help you maintain perspective and find peace amid life's challenges.We would love to hear your comments.
