Faith Exchange

On this week’s Motivational Moments, Pastor Dan Stratton brings us into a deeply reflective and inspirational conversation centered on the question, “How may we serve you?” Drawing from real-life moments with his family, experiences in Cuba, and over six decades of leadership and ministry, Dan walks us through the value of service, permission, and purpose. He also touches on our relationship with time—why the seven-day week is more than tradition—and how legacy is built not just through money, but through character, guidance, and love. A must-read (or listen) for those in leadership, parenting, or transition.
