The Three E’s help Brad Schelling and Steve Cherrico tell their “Why” for the First Priority podcast. The podcast is a platform they use to be able to Encourage, Equip, and Empower.
Encouragement is the first E. We tell stories to encourage one another. Encouragement helps us to know that we are not alone in this movement. Steve Cherrico used an example of a leaking cup. Our cup will leak into others, but we also need people to leak into our cup. So the more we encourage, the more we also need encouragement. We weren’t meant to walk alone! Make sure you have the people in your life who will encourage you every step of the way, so you may also do that for one another.
The second E is Equip. We are here to equip volunteers, staff, and students. FP wants to bring in staff that can help equip one another to share around the country.
Empower is the final E. Once there is enough encouragement and equipment, it is time to activate empowerment. The First Amendment allows the students to be able to tell their peers about Jesus. We are here to empower students to go and share the gospel.
Jeremiah 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Because everyone brings their own gifts to FP, it strengthens and betters us. We all have the ability to encourage, equip, and empower others in our community.
