If you watched Extreme Home Makeover last night then you heard the story of the Montgomery family and saw their lives changed. Nathan left his engineering job to start Salt and Light, a ministry to the less fortunate. Somewhere along the way, he and his wife decided to “Chase Their Lion” and because of that countless individuals have been fed, clothed, and helped in their time of need. What if he had kept his old job and not pursued his purpose and passion? How many lives have been changed because of his family’s sacrifice? Sometimes, God births something in our heart that cannot be contained. Fear and doubt creep in and try to dissuade us from walking in obedience. Eventually, we must make the choice to pursue it with all we have or let the dream die a lonely, painful death. Despite obstacles(and probably naysayers) the Montgomery’s allowed God’s vision to become reality in their lives. There’s lots of coverage of their story here. There are many videos covering various aspects of the show and their ministry. It’s a great behind the scenes look at a great show, but also an up close look at the Montgomery family as well. It’s inspiring stuff. You can find out more about their ministry here and make a donation here. They have have a Facebook page and a Twitter account. Are you being salt and light? A great ministry…a great family.

I absolutely love EMHE, but last nights episode did it for me! The Montgomery family is an inspiration. They sacrificed their own home, well-being and lives for those in their community who have nothing! They are a true blessing and deserved everything they got. We all should take a lesson from them!
