What Do You Want from Life? What Does Jesus Want for You?

By The Stream Published on March 7, 2025

Bartimaeus knew Jesus was his only hope for healing, for a better life. So even as the crowd jostled him, scolded him, and told him to be quiet, he unleashed a desperate plea and shouted louder. This time Jesus stopped and said nine words that changed the trajectory of his life — and will change yours: “What do you want Me to do for you?”

Unpacking this unforgettable encounter between Bartimaeus and Jesus with his unique humor, storytelling, and fist-pumping motivation, Chuck E. Tate explains how it can also be your story, drawing on his powerful book Nine Words from Jesus. A 23-minute video from Life Today Live.
