For several months, a senior O & B surgeon would occasionally try to engage me in conversation.
He had heard about the workplace fellowship through Kayla, who rosters the doctors and attends the fellowship herself. Each time we crossed paths, he would say, “I heard you wrote a book.”
I would smile and gently move on. I’ve never been one to lead with that.
One afternoon, I stepped out of my office and found him just outside, speaking with a radiologist. He greeted me again and, after that conversation ended, returned to the same question, asking about the books.
This time, I felt at peace to respond.
I invited him in and took a few copies from my bag — Kingdom Carriers, Hope Rising, and Preparing for Your Moment to Lead. As he looked through them, he was particularly drawn to Kingdom Carriers. He spoke about his love for the message of the Kingdom, and we briefly discussed the season that led to the writing of the booklet.
There was no pressure. No persuasion. Just openness.
When I ran into him again last week, he shared that he had read Kingdom Carriers and found it powerful. He said the books came in handy at the right time.
Sometimes the Spirit prepares a conversation long before we recognize the moment has arrived.
All glory and honour belong to Him.
Grace and peace,
Jacob
