A thing I should have done a long time back...share my live testimony Ep_804

Live speech: My Christian testimony: how I finally took the knee to God. From a live speech at Harborview Fellowship in beautiful Gig Harbor, Washington. https://youtu.be/ci1wM3LMjUg?t=2196I have owed this to the Podcast Family for far too long: my Christian testimony on how I went from culturally Christian to goofy, libertarian maker-of-my-own-religion to God believer, Bible reader, church-goer, church funder . . . lapsing into being a guy who talked about God but didn’t even attend church, to what being a confessed Jesus-needer and now, a disciple of Jesus Christ. God tried many things with me: loving Christian friends, profitable success in business, two years off of needing to work, a radio show, a national radio presence and none of it worked. God finally let me live in the mess my pride built and, when I finally dropped to my knees to him I spoke words I didn’t know I could. This is the speech, from a terrific Christian faith community in Gig Harbor Washington, Harborview Fellowship, where I first shared my journey to my knees. I hope it helps someone avoid my path. What does God say? 1 Peter 4:12 ESV Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.Psalm 34:4 ESV I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.Alan’s Soapshttps://alanssoaps.com/TODDUse coupon code ‘TODD’ to save an additional 10% off the bundle price.BiOptimizershttps://magbreakthrough.com/toddUse promo code TODD for 10% off your order.Bonefroghttps://bonefrog.usEnter promo code TODD at checkout to receive 10% off your subscription.
