Last broadcast, I shared the beginning of my story of growing up in a dysfunctional

alcoholic family.

Today, I want to share how God uses some of the most difficult things in our life to

bring about the very best stay with me.

Thanks for joining us for this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingrid.

It's our Bible teacher for this international discipleship ministry focused on helping Christians

live like Christians.

Well, today, Chip will pick up where he left off last time in our series, The Four Great

Invitations, Lessons From My First 50 Years With Jesus.

But before he gets going, if this is your first time listening to Living on the Edge,

or you want to learn more about what we do, go to LivingOnTheEdge.org.

You'll find tons of resources there on a variety of topics and countless programs to enjoy.

Or if you prefer, the Chip Ingrimab is also a great way to get plugged in with our ministry.

All of that hears Chip with the second half of his message come to me.

He begins as he teased a minute ago by describing his upbringing and how those early experiences

shaped his worldview.

And my dad taught me a number of things that were really, really positive and really

helpful in terms of my life.

He taught me that if you want to be happy, here's the mantra, be successful.

He literally said things by the time I was 6, 7, 8 years old, you know this country needs

a great president.

You could be that person.
