Summary
I 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.

| 0:00.0 | Beautiful, beautiful email from a podcast family member named Don, sharing her challenge |
| 0:07.2 | of coming to the Lord, and that her son, Christian, has made that he is now with God. |
| 0:15.1 | And it reminded me that I've never shared this with you, and that is my fault. |
| 0:20.0 | You guys are so kind to listen to the cast and support it for so many years. |
| 0:23.3 | You've supported us, the decision to put God at the center. |
| 0:27.2 | So I wanted to share with you my Christian testimony of how this came to be. |
| 0:31.6 | And I realized I couldn't do it better than when I did it at a great Godly church, Harbor |
| 0:38.7 | View Fellowship in Giga Harbor, Washington. |
| 0:41.8 | I was asked to speak there, Charlie Kirk was speaking there, and he had keynoteed, and |
| 0:46.3 | I was on the next day. |
| 0:48.5 | And then Sunday morning, I was allowed to give my testimony. |
| 0:54.4 | And some people have said, it's a sermon, I never thought of it that way. |
| 0:58.9 | But you're going to hear a lot in here that you've never heard, I've never shared it |
| 1:02.2 | on the cast, certainly not in this form. |
| 1:05.9 | And this was prior to me making the decision to preserve this pastoral residency, which |
| 1:11.4 | is very rewarding, and man, I got to admit, it is becoming a load to carry you guys. |
| 1:17.9 | And I'd appreciate your prayers for me, because the 18-hour days are short and get to |
| 1:22.2 | me. |
| 1:23.7 | So I'd appreciate your prayers and support on that. |
| 1:26.7 | So this was me speaking for the first time ever, purely from a perspective of Christian witness |
| 1:36.8 | and testimony, and a great supporting church invited me there. |
| 1:44.0 | There's a link to the video. |
