Hey, everybody. Welcome to the podcast. I have literally on my best friends in the whole world, Robert McKinney. He's our CEO here at Lifestyle and he's a genius.

Thank you.

Not a genius, but type of saying that he's a amazing man. I got kind of crazy how our relationship started.

I was at a conference. It was a Randy Clark conference. It was the voice of the apostles and it was way back. I mean, we're 16 years, I think 16 years.

So 16 years ago, I was at this conference and I was sitting in there with my wife. We had we had they just let us come in there and be a part of this thing and not at the conference speaking, but just as a visitor.

And so we're sitting there and the Lord spoke to me and he said, top the man, two rows up, three people in on the shoulder, tell him I'm going to reproduce the same thing I've done in your heart in his life.

So I didn't think anything of it. I want him to when he speaks me, I want to jump. And so I literally said, excuse me, I need to get out. So I tapped him on the shoulder. I told him.

He looked at me. He had his hands up like this. I remember he was worshipping Steve Swanson was doing worship and he looks at me and he goes, all right, turns around like that. I went back to my wife and she said, what did you tell that guy? And I said, exactly what I said. And she goes, he thinks you're crazy. I saw what sounded crazy. And so sure enough.

That was crazy. It was. It was the first time I went to Randy Clark's voice of the Apostle, voice of the prophets. I think it's one of those two.

But to back up a little bit from my side of it was that I had been going out to the malls trying to pray for people because I got to put something on my heart about laying hands on the sick and raising the dead and cleansing the leprosy.

I mean, it was. But that's what God wanted me to do. And so I started doing it. And I wasn't doing it right because I had a lot of people thought I was just stalking them. And I just a weird for them a weird approach.

And so I kept praying about it. And then I got this magazine in the mail that had Christian books at it. And I was looking through it and the Holy Spirit prompted me to order a book by a guy named Bill Johnson, which I didn't know.

And just kidding. He's amazing. Who was Bill Johnson? I never ordered that magazine and never ordered a book from that magazine. And that book stood out like it was the only one on the page.

And so I ordered this book. It was called when heaven invades earth. And so I ordered the book. It took about six or seven days to get in. And I started reading it. And I was really amazed that Bill Johnson was talking about healing. And then.

It said about midway through the book about Randy Clark and Bill said if anybody would like to step further get closer to what I'm talking about go to Randy Clark's voice of the apostle.

And so I plan and I went to voice of the apostle. And there was about three thousand people, maybe thirty thousand people there. And just like Todd said, I was just worshipping God and somebody taps me on the shoulder of the midst of my encounter.

With God. And so tap me on the so shoulder and said, you know, I wanted to talk to you everything God producing. And I just didn't give him much time. I just I didn't know who he was.

I had porcupine dreads. Yeah, porcupine dreads sticking out like that. Yeah. And somebody are told me that I think it was what somebody are told me that these kind of groups brings an arrangement of people.

Crazy crazy order. And I just thought was one of those. And I just didn't pay much attention and try to ignore him the rest of the day. Then the end of the day or the in the evening time.

The what was it called the squad?

They were doing like a it was kind of like a pilot of maybe a God encounter. Yeah. And it was you guys at some of the universities and

landhands on the sick and seeing results and just seeing just loving people and letting them experience God in a different way than just being inside the church.
