Becoming Anti-Fragile

Pastor Bobby concludes a four-sermon message series called “Winning the Worry War.” We all have things in life that cause us to worry, but the two common worries are money and health. Spending time with God will take away your worry! Today’s message: “Becoming Anti-Fragile.”

Our interview guest is Rev. Andy Bales, the CEO of Union Rescue Mission in LA. His life’s work is to serve his “friends experiencing homelessness,” while working to eradicate the epidemic of homelessness in the LA county. Several years ago, he contracted an aggressive infection while working on Skid Row, a main congregating point for LA’s homeless population. The infection took his leg. Nine weeks later, he was back out on Skid Row working with the people.
