Welcome to the Jesus Calling Podcast. Today we visit with actor and author Greg

Alan Williams who stars in the pureflix motion picture All Saints based on the

true story of salesman turned pastor Michael Spurlock and

Pastor Mark Batterson author of Play the Man becoming the man God created you

to be. First off our interview with Greg Allen Williams.

My name is Greg Allen Williams. I'm an actor and an author and father and

hopefully a friend to some.

For the past many years, 25 or 30 years,

I've worked a lot on television and some in film and written a couple of non-fiction books and a novel.

And here I am, happy to be here.

I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest.

And you know, I'm grateful to my mother for getting off the train from Mississippi in

Iowa. Lived in the heart of the city, but back then there was lots of space and

lots of open fields.

You know, we would ride our bikes and be gone all day and no one had to fear for our safety. As long as we, you know,

came, we checked in or came home for lunch or came home for dinner and

Raising a single-parent household and mom worked a couple of jobs. I had some wonderful teachers in elementary school and

junior high school and even high school and just a number of folks that I call heroes who gathered for me over the course of my

young life to save me from myself. I was raised in the church.

Pentecostal, my mother,

was a Sunday school teacher, singer, etc.

You know, I was adventurous. I was curious. I probably didn't listen long enough or hard enough or follow instructions to the letter.
