Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, folks. I got to tell you, I'm excited. I get to talk to somebody that I feel that I know him,

you know, in the way that you feel, you know, Bob Hope and Abraham Lincoln, you know, people you've seen them,

but they don't know who you are. My wife, Suzanne, and I've been watching Pastor Mike Thompson in Las Vegas

for probably a year and a half right now.

And, you know, there's certain times when God uses people to encourage you.

And God has used Pastor Mike Thompson to encourage us really powerfully.

And I am just thrilled to have him as my guest.

Mike Thompson, welcome this program.

Oh, thank you so much, Eric.

It's just such a pleasure to meet you to see you.

I was shocked when I emailed you that you were aware of me.

I was not anticipating that.

That sort of freaked me out a little bit.

I thought, hey, wait a minute.

Are there people out there watching me? Sometimes I bit. I thought, hey, wait a minute. Are there people

out there watching me? Sometimes I forget that I'm not just doing this for myself. So, but thanks.

I mean, we're here to talk about you. What you do, I want just people to get to know you because

whenever we talk about something like the prophetic, a lot of people have knee-jerk reactions.

They think, I don't want to get near that stuff.

Those people are crazy.

And the problem is a lot of those people are crazy and sloppy.
