Welcome to Vlad's Subject podcast.

Our mission at Vladimir Subject Ministries is to reach the world globally and disciple them digitally.

Let's dive into this episode. Amen, amen, amen, amen. And so I'm going to bring Dr. Brown.

Hello. Hey, great to be with you. Yeah. Pleasure to be with you once again. I know you're very busy man, so I really appreciate your,

um, the time that you're allowing for a little guys like us. Oh, with joy, what? No little guys,

we're all little guys in the kingdom. Yeah. You really appreciate, um, uh, uh, your teaching and your

ministry. And Dr. Brown, Brown, the illustration that I really have

used and I borrowed from your website, I gave you credit many times, but then I kept, then I just said,

somebody said, and now I think it became your... Now it became my illustration. It's about

being in the airplane and your idea of losing

salvation and how we lose salvation, like we lose our keys, but how we are secure in our salvation,

like we are secure in the airplane. Yet we still can get out and jump out. Of course, we shouldn't

do that, but we still are capable of doing that.

And just your explaining of the grace of God, as well as challenging some of the errors that we

are seeing happening right now with the very hyper, ultra-hyper explanation of God's grace.

And I have your book here with me. I really appreciate your ministry and just speaking about that boldly and this balanced perspective. But I want to start in

the beginning with, could you tell us a little bit about the personal encounter you had with

the grace of God as a young heroin user and how you were changed by God's grace.

Yes, so at the age 16, my two best friends, with whom I played a band, I was the drummer, a guitarist, the bass, the bassist player,

your best friends. The two of them became friends with some girls who were going to a little liturian Anacoscon Cure. The girls were a Gordorchained. They started Garticane. I went to hold them out in August of 7-Z1-1. And, you know, Jewish kid, my first time was church, or my biggest kid was, you know, I was shooting heroin using LSD for the rebellion. And so the people in church are going to pray for you.

I didn't know that.

But the whole spirit began convict me of sin.
