Hey everyone welcome once again to the Conversations that Matter

Podcast. I'm your host John Harris. Very excited for a conversation that we're

going to have today with someone that frankly when I reached out to him I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get him to come on the podcast not because he's busy or anything but just because I figured he's kind of a big name.

And this podcast of course we do have a number of

evangelical listeners here in the United States but we're going to go outside of

that tradition a little bit today to talk to Reverend Calvin Robinson. Thank

you for joining me, Reverend.

John, it's my absolute pleasure. Thank you for the invitation.

And of course I'm not too busy to do your podcast at all.

Oh, well, it is flattering in a way and just, I don't know know it's weird watching you at the Oxford

Student Union and I was so impressed with that it's it's had millions of views

hasn't it I mean a lot of people have seen this it's crazy it's about four

million views at this point is ridiculous to me that that many people have watched it.

Okay, so I gotta ask you first before even introducing yourself, has that been a change to your life?

I mean all this attention, has that changed your, I don't know,

you have the secretaries and an industry now built around you or what's it like?

I don't think it's changed my life. On a day-to-day basis I'm still doing the same things. I'm still doing half my time in public

ministry, half my time in the parish ministry, and because day-to-day I am quite busy I just go from the

next thing to the next thing and I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow I look at the calendar for today and I get on with those things so I don't really have that much time to focus on the bigger picture where it has made a difference is that more people recognize me in public.

So I've always had people recognize me in public because of the work that I do, but now more people

do and wherever I go even in different countries and that's very strange to me but it's nice because people are always lovely and people are always wanting to share their love for the Lord and so it's not really about me at all and that's that's quite reassuring.

That is one of the things that I love about you and I have listened to a few interviews
