One brave man jumped into action to save a woman from a burning vehicle. The hero risked his life for a complete stranger, pulling her out of a car that was engulfed in flames. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear about and see this man’s heroic, life-saving move.

People today are wrong when it comes to a lot of different things. One of the things many in society are regularly incorrect about is how they define and who they determine to be heroes. Contrary to popular belief, actors and actresses are not heroes. Neither are athletes, and you certainly will not find any heroes occupying the Oval Office or walking through the halls of Congress.

Heroes are individuals who are more concerned about others than themselves. These special people demonstrate that belief through their courageous and selfless actions. They are motivated by their concern for the safety and well-being of others and act with complete disregard for their safety, often putting their lives on the line.

A clip posted on YouTube captured the actions of a true hero: Nathan Felix. Nathan was driving by when he spotted a vehicle on fire. Instead of continuing, Nathan stopped and offered his assistance, even sprinting toward the scene with a fire extinguisher.

But that is not all.

Once near the vehicle, Nathan worked frantically to pull the 68-year-old driver from the burning car. As he pulls her out of the car, he can be heard telling her they must keep going because it could explode.

One of the paramedics on the scene was grateful for Nathan and praised the young man’s heroic, life-saving efforts.

“Nathan did an awesome job, way above and beyond what’s expected,” he said. “This woman has tomorrow because of his actions.”

In an interview following his heroic move, Nathan said that the woman could have been a member of his family.

“It could have been my mom, my auntie, something like that,” Nathan said.

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking everyone to his private good but keeping in mind the things of others.”

One musician, Emily Ann Roberts, shared a powerful message about trusting and having faith in God and remembering and counting how He has blessed our lives. Her moving words are a terrific reminder to lean not on our power and understanding but instead to place our faith and trust in Him. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear her words and message that likely hit close to home for many.

The world is way too often a sad, cold and cruel place. Nearly everywhere we look, we are reminded of this fact. Turn on any evening news broadcast or log onto social media, and you’ll see a hundred different ways how this is true. Dwelling and continually thinking and worrying about the lost and hopeless state of the world is enough to drive the sanest, most stable person crazy.

Worrying about things out of our control is not the answer. In Luke, Jesus says exactly this when he mentions that worry will not add a single hour to your life. Instead, cast your cares and concerns about Him, which was precisely what Emily said in a clip posted on YouTube.

“I could wake up this morning and focus on all the things I wish I was doing instead of the things I get to do and the blessings that God has given me,” she said while picking green beans. “And if I focused on all that for too long, then I’d probably be in a bad mood, I’d be ungrateful and I’d miss the blessings right in front of me, like these green beans right here.”

Later in the clip, Emily mentioned how she used to be ridden with anxiety, which kept her from enjoying and appreciating much. She said a passage of Scripture she came across changed everything.

“And there was a passage of Scripture that I came across that really changed my life forever, and the peace of God and His word changed my life forever,” she said. “The verse is so simple. It says, ‘Don’t worry about anything, but instead pray about everything.’ Tell God what you need, thank Him for all He has done, and then you’ll experience God’s peace.”

Philippians 4:6 “In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

What’s the “great prize” of life? Money? Status? Things? So many choices! #toughquestionsforgod #ludingtonstpaul

A police officer stepped in to help a frightened baby deer and touched hearts in the process. The woman demonstrated concern, love and gentleness for the animal, which was in a dangerous position. Watch the short and tear-jerking clip to see the officer’s heartwarming actions.

Law enforcement officers regularly put their safety and lives in danger. They are often some of the first people on the scene when a horrible, tragic incident happens. When others run away from the scene, they approach it to offer help and assistance.

Officers can never know how any given day on the job will go. What kind of calls will come over the radio? To what situation will they be called to respond? It could be anything and everything, or it could be something they happen to encounter themselves. That was the case in one powerful and moving video posted on YouTube.

A police officer in Ohio noticed a baby deer lying on the side of the road.  Instead of driving by and going about her day, she stopped and showed concern for the tiny animal’s well-being. The video begins with the officer talking to the Department of Natural Resources to ask how to best handle the situation and what she should do with the deer. She decided it was best to remove the small deer from its present location, which was just off to the side of a busy highway.

The video captures the kind and caring officer physically picking up the deer. The animal is unsure about the situation and about this person approaching it. Still, the officer reassures it, treating the animal tenderly and with much care as she picks it up and puts it in a much safer location.

“This thing is adorable!” the officer says as she holds the deer.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Michael W. Smith has revealed the origins of his hit song “Place in This World.” The background story of the beloved and iconic tune is powerful, likely to bring a tear or two or three to your eyes. Watch the short but moving clip to hear Michael explain what inspired the song’s title and lyrics.

Most people thoroughly enjoy listening to music. Honestly, who doesn’t love music? However, while many people like and appreciate music, most have no idea how their favorite tune came into being. What inspired those lyrics that you automatically sing along to whenever that tune comes on the radio, Spotify or Apple Music?

Every song must come from somewhere, from some experience or event. What was the motivation for that melody and those lyrics? In a clip posted on YouTube, Michael explains how and from where he drew inspiration when creating “Place in This World.” It’s a powerful story that may change how you look at and feel about the song.

The clip begins with Michael mentioning his overall aim for making music, stating that he wanted to use his musical gifts to bring glory and honor to His name.

“You know, I just wanted to make pop music and sing about Jesus and sing about my faith,” he said.

Later in the clip, he mentions specifically “Place in This World” and the heartbreaking place from which the lyrics came.

“I remember writing, when I wrote ‘Place in This World,’ when I even wrote the music, I remember just thinking, ‘I think this is a hit song.’” Michael said.

He mentioned bringing in Amy Grant and Wayne Kirkpatrick to help write the lyrics.

He added, “And it was inspired by all these letters I got from kids. They’re going, ‘I just, I just want to take my own life. I don’t, I don’t have anything to live for. And I think in one of those letters, a girl said, ‘I’m just trying to find my place in this world.’”

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Granger Smith shares some powerful truths about Christ’s place in our lives. The former country singer shared a moving message that everyone needs to hear and apply to their lives. Watch the short but moving clip to hear Granger’s words about Jesus Christ and about the position He should be in our lives.

Life is not always a fun, joyous and easy-going experience. Yes, there will be instances, circumstances and reasons worth celebrating, but there will also be times when there is hurt and heartbreak. Absolutely no one likes going through trials and struggles. Pain is unpleasant, and we want it to end as quickly as possible.

People will also encounter situations that make them uncomfortable. Some might even argue that feeling ill at ease and dealing with uneasiness is worse than experiencing pain. One reason someone may feel this way is because of conviction and the work of the Holy Spirit. In a clip posted on YouTube, Granger shared a powerful message that is likely to convict many who hear his words.

In the video, Granger recalled an interaction with an individual during which the man joked about “everyone needing a little Jesus.”  The man’s awkward and strange comment about Jesus Christ immediately put off Granger and didn't sit right with him.

“I nodded politely, but inside, something twisted,” he said. “A little Jesus? It says so much about what we have reduced him to in this society.”

According to Granger, far too many people have reduced the Savior of the world to a good luck charm, almost like a rabbit’s foot or something else individuals hold onto for superstitious reasons.

“He is not a trinket,” Granger said. “He is the judge of the living and the dead. And He comes into our lives, not just to round it out. He comes to take it over. The real Jesus is no figurine. He is not a part of your life. He is your life, or He is nothing at all.”

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the true and the living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.’”

A young man ran off the track mid-race for the most heartwarming reason. His move was certainly unexpected, but why he did it will have you reaching for the tissues to wipe your eyes. Watch the short but precious clip to see why the young athlete temporarily exited the track during a race.

Many people enjoy watching sports. Every year, the Super Bowl is the most-watched thing on television. Sports fans love seeing athletes at the top of their game compete against one another. And, for the most part, it doesn’t matter what sport. If people compete against one another for some title or trophy, individuals will likely tune in to see who comes out on top.

Spectators love seeing athletes doing their best, doing all they can to win the game, match or heat. However, no fan wants to see athletes give up before the clock says zero. But a clip posted on YouTube shows a runner not giving up but taking a detour during a race, and he did so for the most precious, heartwarming reason imaginable.

The video starts with the beginning of a race at the Special Olympics. The athletes make their way along the track as a crowd of people stands just off the track, using their phones to capture every moment of the race. However, seconds into the race, something unexpected happens.

As the runners pass by, one young man is seen crossing the track, approaching the cameras. Several people yell and tell him to remain on the track, but he doesn’t listen. Instead, he runs over to his mother and kisses her. After showing his mother how much he loves and appreciates her, he returns to the track and continues with his race.

What an adorable scene! When it comes to sports, it’s easy to get caught up in the heat of the competition, but this young man knew what mattered most to him: his mother.

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.”

Tim Tebow shared why every believer needs a strong spiritual community. The former Heisman Trophy winner pointed out why belonging to and being plugged into a faith community is vitally important. Watch the short but powerful clip where Tim shares why this is a must for every follower of Jesus Christ.

The world is not always a friendly, welcoming, and uplifting place. Life frequently puts you through situations that leave you battered and bruised, hurting and downright discouraged. These trials and hardships can be agonizing and gut-wrenching, but some people will try to do it independently, completely, without anyone by their side.

When we endure trials and testing alone, the enemy attacks. Thoughts and feelings of worthlessness and depression start to creep into our minds. We’re suddenly reminded of past stumbles and failures. In a clip posted on YouTube, Tim shares why Christians need to belong to a strong community of other believers.

“The enemy says you’re alone, but God says I will never leave you and forsake you,” Tim said. “And so, that’s why it’s so important to have a renewing of your mind in God’s word, in Scripture, in prayer, and with other people around you because when we get isolated, when we get alone, all of those voices from the enemy start to leak in and they start to creep and they start to say and they start to point out all of those flaws.”

However, people were not meant to do life alone. We were made for relationships—to encourage and uplift one another.

Later in the clip, Tim adds that while we may have scars from what we’ve suffered in the past, God says that does not define us.

“You have to get back to Scripture because God’s saying, ‘No, no, no, no. You’re missing the mark because you’re missing the point. Yes, you have scars, and you have flaws, but you’re not defined by your scars. You’re defined by mine.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work. And if one has a fall, the other will give him a hand; but unhappy is the man who is by himself, because he has no helper.”

A child sprang into action and helped to save her teacher’s life during a scary moment. The young woman knew exactly what to do when the teacher experienced a medical emergency. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what the little girl did that helped save her teacher’s life.

Life is the most valuable, precious thing on Earth, worth more than all the money and riches combined. It’s a gift from the good Lord above and should be treated as such. Life ought to be protected in any and every form and every instance. Every effort should be made to preserve and protect that invaluable gift from the Lord.

Unfortunately, we live in a fallen and unpredictable world, making forecasting the future impossible. Loved ones can be here one minute and gone the next. We can never be sure when someone will breathe their last breath, so cherish the time we’ve been given with one another.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a child did what she could to save her teacher's life during an emergency. When disaster struck, Kyndal Bradley, a 4-year-old, was in her daycare classroom with her teacher and a few classmates. Kyndal’s teacher suddenly fell to the floor, suffering a seizure. The clip indicates that the teacher was the only adult in the room during the medical emergency. She needed help immediately, and that’s when Kyndal leaped into action. 

Understanding something was wrong, the child ran out of the room to find help. First responders soon arrived on the scene and rushed the teacher to the hospital, where she is said to be recovering.

It was later learned that during the seizure, the teacher stopped breathing twice. Kyndal is, according to those medical professionals and everyone else who hears this story, a hero.

Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”

Is the Bible really true? Everyone has an opinion, right? Isn't it simply a collection of writings from various people, contradicting itself? Hmmmm, what to believe? #toughquestionsforgod #ludingtonstpaul

A group of kids brought joy to a woman’s day with a heartwarming surprise. The children took it upon themselves to do something nice for her. Watch the short but tear-jerking video to see what the kids did and why.

No one likes getting older and being reminded that they are aging, so most people don’t enjoy their birthdays. Some people may even avoid that particular day on the calendar like the plague and act as if that day does not even exist. What’s wrong with a calendar with one less day? There are still 364 others.

Anyway, as much as people may dislike their birthday, everyone enjoys feeling as if someone recognizes and appreciates them. Helping someone celebrate the day they entered the world is an excellent way to do just that. In a clip posted on social media, a group of youngsters did just that for a woman who lives in their neighborhood.

In the video, four children stand at a woman’s front door with a cake and a balloon. The kids are singing “Happy Birthday” as the woman opens the door to the four youngsters serenading her with the song everyone knows and loves. She is all smiles and is obviously touched by the children’s kind and loving gesture.

But this wasn’t just any birthday surprise.

The video's text makes it clear that the woman lives alone, and the kids wanted to do something to make her feel special and appreciated on her big day.

A cake, a balloon and a musical performance aren’t the world’s biggest, flashiest and most attention-grabbing things. However, the fact that those children knew and cared enough to think of her on her birthday will likely bring a tear or two to anyone’s eyes. What a beautiful gesture that likely meant the world to that woman.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

One young woman’s unexpected graduation moment leaves the crowd cheering. She displayed resilience and strength of character as she made her way to receive her diploma. Watch the short and powerful clip to see what she did that will likely have you wiping away a tear or two from your eyes.

Life is a long series of unexpected events. Some will be good, happy occasions and reasons to celebrate, where you’ll experience life’s mountaintop. However, unfortunately, with other instances, you’ll experience the valleys, the lowest of lows. Those situations will be marked by pain, agony and heartbreak.

While we often cannot control or predict what will happen, we have power over our response and reaction. When life becomes unbearable and overwhelming, we can quit and declare ourselves defeated or soldier on, doing what we can to make the best of the situation. In a clip posted on YouTube, a recent George Mason graduate, Samantha Lewis, refused to quit, continuing when she encountered devastating, overwhelming circumstances.

She came down with a rare neurological condition, causing her to lose feeling in both legs, basically leaving her paralyzed. However, although it would have been much easier, Samantha refused to give up. She continued with her studies, taking six classes simultaneously while she went through months of physical therapy. The video explains that she had to learn to walk again.

“I’m going to try my best because I can’t give up without trying first,” Samantha said.

Eventually, graduation day arrived, and Samantha appeared on stage in a wheelchair. Still, she did something no one saw coming: She stood up and walked across the stage to receive her diploma, and as she did that, the noise level was deafening.

“What inspires people who you become despite what you’ve been through,” Samantha said.

James 1:12 “There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God’s approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.”

Candace Cameron Bure had an inspiring take on hearing the word “no.” The actress, author, and podcast host shared how she responded when she was told no in her life. Watch the short clip to hear the encouraging and powerful way Candace has reacted whenever she encounters an obstacle.

It requires a fair amount of persistence and perseverance to accomplish anything and to get anywhere in life. Whether it’s personal or professional, there will be a lot of ups and downs. Many of those obstacles will come from people, naysayers who say something is impossible. They will say why this or that cannot be done, or they will simply respond with “no” and move along.

“No” is a word everyone is familiar with. Although it may only be two letters, hearing it can be soul-crushing, depending on the situation. In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace shares the unique way she has handled it when someone told her no in her life. Instead of allowing the harsh, straightforward response to keep her down, she has turned those situations into opportunities.

“We have figured out solutions to a lot of nos in my life and my career,” she said. “And so, people have shut that door and said, ‘No, that would never work. We’ve never done that before.’ And we come back and go, ‘Great, you’ve never done that before. Let us show you a way in which we can do that.’”

Later in the clip, Candace added that when someone responds negatively and states something is impossible for whatever reason, we should remember that we serve a mighty, all-powerful God capable of anything.

“And so, it’s a good lesson for all of you guys,” she said. “Don’t take a no at face value, and if someone tells you, like, ‘No, it’s never been done.’ Well, it doesn’t mean God can’t do that for you, and God can’t do it differently through you.”

Luke 1:37 “For there is nothing which God is not able to do.”

A barber’s gentle approach to a young man with autism touches hearts. The man went at a pace that was comfortable and to the young man’s liking, never pushing him any further than he wanted to go. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what the barber did that will have you brushing away tears from your eyes.

The world is often a scary, sad and cruel place. Have a glance at the evening news or spend five minutes on any popular social media platform, and you’ll quickly come to the same conclusion. Sadly, people have the ability to inflict immeasurable pain and suffering upon one another.

Undoubtedly, love, kindness and patience are in short supply today. Many people say they desire to improve the world and make it a better place, so why don’t they? Why not start by being kinder, more loving and patient with those in our spheres of influence? That is precisely what one barber did in a clip posted on YouTube.

The clip begins with the barber approaching the young man, Kyson. From his initial reaction, it’s clear that this is an entirely new experience for him, and he’s terrified. However, the barber remains calm, cool and understanding throughout the process.

The barber talks to the young man the whole time, trying to understand what makes him so afraid and uneasy. Anytime something arises that upsets Kyson, the barber slows things down and patiently reassures him.

Eventually, the little guy feels comfortable enough to hop into the chair and is coaxed into getting his haircut. While cutting the young man’s hair, the barber starts conversing with him, asking if they are now friends.

Later, the clip shows Kyson’s second visit to the barbershop, during which the barber demonstrates the same level of kindness, love and patience.

“That’s the gift when you’re like, when you see him transition from being terrified to just trusting, you know?” the kind and understanding barber says.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

A quick-thinking 6-year-old saved his grandmother’s life after she fell into a diabetic coma. The brave little guy knew exactly what to do during the scary emergency and stepped up in a big way. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what the child did that saved his grandmother’s life.

One could easily describe life as a series of unpredictable events. Anyone who says they know, with 100 percent certainty, what the future holds is either a liar, insane or likely a little of both. We don’t know what will happen in five minutes from now, let alone in five years. Sure, we can have vague, general ideas of how things might play out, but we will never know for sure.

Part of life’s unpredictability means that emergencies can and do occur. The best thing we can do for them is to be prepared and know what to do in case they happen. Even then, we can’t be sure how we’ll react when placed in that situation and when facing those circumstances. A clip posted on social media tells of a young man who stepped up in a big way when he found himself in an emergency. His actions saved the life of his grandmother.

Nolan Accoo was spending time with his grandmother, playing on his iPad as grandma sat nearby watching television. Unfortunately, their quiet night was disrupted because that’s when disaster struck. The child’s grandmother went into a diabetic coma.

However, just days before this happened, Nolan’s father sat him down and explained what he should do if a situation like this were to occur. Instead of freezing at the moment and allowing fear to keep him from acting, Nolan did just as instructed. He got her some juice, and then, when the paramedics arrived at the apartment, he let them in to tend to his grandmother.

“I just thank God because if he wasn’t there, I don’t know how that would have ended,” Nolan’s grandmother said.

Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”
