239 | Renewal Conversation: Feeding the Poor and Caring for the Vulnerable, With Jane Kourtis

In this week's Renewal Conversation, I had the joy of interviewing Jane Kourtis, who is an attorney of 23 years, a faithful leader, mother and grandmother.

Her journey in Christ was shaped from childhood as the daughter of a Greek Orthodox priest, where the beauty of hymnology, liturgy, and the five-sense experience of worship formed her spiritual foundation.

Her ministry leadership extends, among others (more in the video), to the Philoptochos ministry, where she serves locally and nationally to support those in need and uphold the rich tradition of compassionate service.

Her experiences, including moments of burnout, have taught her to approach each responsibility with clarity, rest, and intention rooted in her Christian values, allowing her to continue to prioritize what matters most - faith, family and purposeful work.

In this Renewal Conversation, you will hear about:
+ Her vocational journey, while not linear, was one only God could ordain.
+ Her experience with burnout.
+ How she applies the "Big Rocks" system (Steven Covey) to her life and the way it serves her and her family.
+ Her unique way to divide the weekend to take care of herself and her family, and to be with God! (you don't want to miss this.)

One of Jane's favorite Bible verses is one that her father quoted many times: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 (NKJV)
