Stephen Murray is a trusted close friend of mine. He serves as the director of

mentoring for forerunner mentoring here in Dallas, Texas.

And I'm so excited to share with you our conversation around roadblocks to relationship with God.

We discussed how misconceptions about God the Father can hinder us in truly knowing and walking with Him,

and how these misconceptions are most often birthed out of our relationships to our earthly father.

Stephen's truly a man after God's own heart who longs to spend his life revealing

the love of the father to everyone he means. His candidness and

vulnerability are sure to bring freedom to every heart that hears his words.

So I know that you'll be encouraged and deeply touched by our conversation today

Also you can watch this conversation on our new blog by checking out our YouTube channel just search First of Team on YouTube.

Welcome to this special episode of the First of Team Podcast. Stephen, so glad you're here talking with us about what it means to step in the

gap in people's lives,

to have a, that maybe you're missing a father

that's present in their life in Earthy father,

as well as really excited to talk about what it means

for God to be a good and living father with us.

Really appreciate your friendship.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

I'm like, I'm just glad to be your friend.

To be in your back house here, I am a little disappointed

Ooh, we should have made some coffee.
