If There’s Anything I Can Do with Pam McConnell

Show Notes

What does it look like to truly live a life of noticing and serving others?

In this episode of If There Is Anything I Can Do, Pam McConnell sits down with Brian Haddon, an elder at Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, to talk about the quiet, everyday ways we can reflect the heart of Jesus.

Brian's story shows us that meaningful impact doesn't require a large platform. His life is a powerful example of what it means to show up, recognize needs before they’re spoken, and love people through simple acts of generosity and care.

Together, Pam and Brian discuss where this instinct to serve comes from, how Scripture shapes our understanding of generosity, the importance of balancing giving with receiving, and how each of us can take small steps toward becoming people who notice and respond.

Because some superheroes don’t wear capes — they simply go around doing good.
