Donuts and 300 Pushups
Manage episode 498488702 series 3324280
Have you ever witnessed a classroom lesson so powerful it left students in tears? Today's episode of Starting Right shares a remarkable story that will transform how you understand sacrifice and grace.
Danny Mac tells "The Parable of the Donuts," where a religion professor orchestrates an unforgettable demonstration. Steve, a freshman football player, agrees to perform push-ups so his classmates can enjoy donuts. As each student receives their treat, Steve must complete ten push-ups—regardless of whether students want the donut or not.
This powerful illustration challenges us to recognize the tremendous gift we've been offered and the foolishness of leaving such a precious gift unclaimed. As the professor wisely notes, "Not all sermons are preached in words." Some spiritual truths can only be truly understood through experience rather than explanation.
