Episode Description from the Publisher

What if one conversation with a stranger changed the rest of your life?Years ago, I boarded an airplane and started talking with the stranger sitting beside me. We talked about life, where they were from, where they had been, and where they were going.I had no idea that stranger would eventually become my wife, Amanda.Years later on Kilimanjaro, Amanda and I would meet another group of strangers. Those men became our team, and when our tent ripped loose in a violent storm, they ran toward us.Hebrews 13:2 reminds us not to forget to show hospitality to strangers. In a world of headphones, phones, and eyes constantly looking down, maybe it's time to look up again.A spouse was once a stranger. A best friend was once a stranger. A mentor was once a stranger. Every meaningful relationship has a first moment.You never know who God may place beside you.🎙️ Summit After the Storm Podcast with Bart Wilbanks#Relationships #Faith #LoveStory #Marriage #ChristianPodcast #ChristianLiving #GodsPlan #DivineAppointments #Hebrews13 #FaithJourney #LifeLessons #HumanConnection #Kilimanjaro #KeepClimbing #SummitAfterTheStorm
