About this listen

What does it look like to go the second mile? Are we willing to say yes to God even when we feel unqualified or afraid? We reflect on the life of Gladys Aylward as a living picture of Christ’s command in Matthew 5:38–42, showing sacrificial love beyond obligation. An ordinary woman by the world’s standards, she relied wholly on Christ, and through her willingness God brought hope, protection, and the gospel to suffering people in China. Her life reminds us that going the second mile is not about our strength or credentials, but about a heart surrendered to Jesus, trusting Him to work through our willingness for His glory and the blessing of others.
