The key to Jenga is that stable foundation, and when you've got that stable foundation you can go really, really high, really, really high.
What can a game of Jenga teach us about life? Captain Andrew Hambleton from the Salvation Army Riverway Recovery Corps takes this classic game and turns it into a powerful metaphor for building a strong foundation. Picture this: two volunteers are invited to play Jenga, stacking blocks higher and higher. But what happens when the base isn’t stable? The tower comes crashing down.
Captain Andrew uses this simple yet profound imagery to stress the importance of having a solid foundation in life. Drawing from a biblical story where Jesus speaks about building a house on rock versus sand, Captain Andrew emphasizes that life’s storms are inevitable. Whether it's personal struggles or unforeseen challenges, only those with a firm foundation will withstand the test.
He shares his own poignant experience of his son’s cancer diagnosis, illustrating how faith and community support played crucial roles in navigating through that storm. This episode isn’t just about spiritual teachings; it’s a heartfelt call to action. Captain Andrew encourages listeners to evaluate their own foundations and prepare for life's turbulent times by anchoring themselves in faith and community. His message is clear: don’t wait for the storm to hit; start building your strong foundation now.
For anyone grappling with life's uncertainties, this episode offers both practical advice and emotional support. It’s a reminder that with the right foundation, you can reach great heights, just like in Jenga.
