Hey, folks, welcome back. One of the joys of life, and you know I'm right about this, is when you meet someone that you think, I really like this guy. I'm glad I know this guy. One of those people, not all of them, but one of those people is my guest right now.

He is a pastor, a new friend Travis Johnson.

Pastor Travis Johnson, welcome to this program.

Hey, Eric, it's great to see you.

Great to be with you.

It's great to see you.

As I was saying to you off the air, like I have been been you know in a cave uh finishing my monster book on the

American Revolution which will be out in time for the super centennial uh in a couple of months but you

uh have written a book and I want to talk to you about that. Your book is called Unembarrassed of Jesus.

Unembarrassed of Jesus. Now, before we get into the meaning of the book, the meaning of the title and why you wrote the book, for my audience, that's not familiar with you, Travis Johnson. Tell us, where are you, for example, where are your churches?

We have campuses. And thank you, Eric. We have campuses that start at about Orange Beach,

Alabama, on the Florida Alabama line. They run on over to around Memphis. And then

internationally, we have organizations, people for care and learning. We break the cycle of

poverty by inspiring

hope and empowering potential. So we go into some of the most difficult countries, Cambodia,

for instance, impacted by genocide. And so we've been starting businesses and children's homes

for a couple decades. And we're seeing now churches and learning centers coming up all over Cambodia. It's been pretty incredible. Of course, we're involved in Congo and some other things like that. So really, we just share it. What do you mean, of course, we're involved in the Congo and things like, what do you mean, of course? I'm not involved in the Congo. Like, that's, this is a big deal. You've been, where did you grow up Travis I grew up in Miami I'm I'm from

the 305 you know I'm in Alabama right now but Eric if you cut me I still bleed cafe

con lece you uh but you're not Cuban strangely enough amazing no if I had married a Cuban or a

southerner I'd be as big as a house with the fried food and the beans and rice.

It's a little piece of heaven.

So my wife is from Toledo, Ohio.
