The Wellness Puzzle Podcast

The gift of giving

Episode Summary

In episode 289, I speak with pastor, personal trainer, and director of Pentecost Care charity, Kate Watson. I also speak with many other people involved with Pentecsot care, including volunteers who love giving and homeless people who are receiving amazing benefits from the charity. This conversation is inspiring in many ways. Kate has a heart for people, and a desire to see them, not just survive, but thrive in life. There are people all around the world who are struggling. Many sleep in the streets, are unsure of where their next meal is coming from, and just want to feel they belong somewhere. That is what Pentecost Care is all about. In this podcast we chat about the chairty, what it is doing to help others, how so many people are benefiting, and how the gift of giving is the most fulfilling and joyful. Please enjoy, and please give in any way you can. See show notes for how.
