112: The Comfort Challenge: 30 days of showing care & comfort to others with Danita Cummins

Danita Cummins joins me again for her mindset discussion about showing care and comfort to others. She is the author of her first book titled Promise Over Purpose: The Path to a Peace-Filled Life, which is due out in the fall of 2024. Danita is also the host of the Entrusted to Lead podcast, the director of the Alpha Life Pregnancy Center, and a business coach. She and Mark have been married for 20 years and they have four adult children and two grandchildren. In this episode, Danita and I discuss how she believes strongly in caring for others and showing them comfort when they are struggling. In one of her most difficult challenges, others shared comfort with her. They cared for her physical needs and her emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. Midway through our conversation, Danita and I had an idea of challenging others to share comfort and care with others. The idea for a thirty-day comfort challenge was formed. We both wanted to invite our friends, families, coworkers, neighbors, and even strangers to join us as we show care or comfort every day of September. Details about the challenge: 1.      The 30 Day Comfort Challenge runs September 1 through September 30, 2024. 2.      Each day of September, offer comfort or care to someone. Be sure to record it on the Comfort Challenge list. 3.      Email your completed list to melony@melonybrown.com between October 1 and October to be entered into the drawing for a copy of Danita’s new book, Promise Over Purpose and Melony’s book, Challenges Won’t Stop Me. 4.      The winner will be announced on October 7.

It just undergirds all that we are and do in Him.” ·         “There are a billion different ways you can love God and love the world.” ·         “where I was praying, Lord just let me see your hand in the good and the hard. I don’t need all the keys to the kingdom. I just need to know on these really hard days that I can still see Your hand at work or know that You’re by my side.” ·         “What do you have in your hand? Don’t make it complicated.” Bible verse:  ·         2 Corinthians 1:3-4 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”   Connect with Danita Cummins: Her website: https://danitacummins.com On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danitacummins  On Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/danita_cummins Send me a COMMENT or QUESTION!
