Jesse Lusko, Pastor of Calvary Westside, pours out his heart for children, and the broken-hearted.  He describes his life as a “horror story” and a “glory story” simultaneously. We talk about everything from his battle with depression to his joy, giving children gift boxes in Peru with Operation Christmas Child. The following quote is just one of many encouraging things he said during our hour together, “If you compare yourself to those who have more, you will always feel poor. If you share with those who have less than you, you will always feel rich!”  For podcasts of Jesse’s teaching ministry go to https://www.jesselusko.com/.
