When Rosaria Betterfield was invited to the home of a pastor and his wife, here's what she expected.

I figured, okay, here are evangelical Christians, and I am a lesbian atheist.

I'm a project, and they're going to have to get the gospel in and an invitation to church in

and some good scourging about my sexual sin in before I get

back in my car because I might get hit by a car driving the mile home to my house and then it

would be all their responsibility because that's what I thought Christians believed.

What she discovered was something very different.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Friday, February 5th, 2016.

Well, you've often heard me say here on Revive Our Hearts that I love living under Providence.

I really do. The fact that God looks ahead,

he knows what's coming, he's ordained it, and he sees before us and then makes provision for that

future for us. And so in God's Providence, the night before last, I received a text from a dear

friend letting me know that Rosaria Butterfield was

in the area speaking here in southwest Michigan.

And I said, I wish I'd known about that.

Rosari, you're sitting here with me in the studio now.

The Lord knew.

And you thought you were going to be back home in North Carolina by now.

And I got in touch with you and said, could you change your flight?

Could we get you here in the studio?

I've been so eager to meet you.

Oh, and I, you.
