121: Vivian Mabuni | Willing Heart

Vivian Mabuni joins Amber to discuss investing your lives into others, so that they may know and walk with Jesus. We discuss our heart posture toward discipleship, inquiring of the Lord, and some practical ways to begin discipling others.

Questions Vivian and I Discuss:

1. (8:39) How did you begin walking with Jesus?
2. (17:14) God led you to a place of working with college students and discipling them and you have faithfully discipled them for decades.  Share a bit about that journey.
3. (20:36) Discipleship can be such a "big, churchy" word. How do you go about discipling someone?
4. (26:24) In a culture, where we seem to go, go, go, yet often "feel" we aren't living out our purpose. In your book, Open Hands, Willing Heart: Discover the Joy of Saying Yes to God,  you encourage your readers to look at the posture of their hearts. What does that mean? And how did that play out in your surrendering to God's will as a young college graduate?
5. (34:34) Saying yes to everything asked of you is not necessarily saying yes to God. As believers continuously asking God for wisdom and discernment will help us know His calling.   What are some common roadblocks to saying Yes to God?
6. (38:37) How have you stayed focused on running the mile you're in?
7. (44:33) To encourage our listeners will you share a story where you now know the outcome and it clearly points to the faithfulness of God?

Quotes to Remember:

"I followed through and I gave Him my whole life. I just said, 'I am all in'."

"Invest your life into others."

"I think that all believers can be in places where we are being mentored and discipled and we can seek to build into the next generation."

"I can share from my life experience, I can share what I'm learning in the Scriptures, I can continue to point each and every person to the Lord and His character, so that they are not dependent upon me, but are ultimately always dependent on the Lord."
