We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

This tribe faith series has been for me.

It has challenged me and stretched me in so many areas.

And I just thank God for it.

I was telling my wife the other day, you know, y'all know me.

I'm not ever trying to preach in a condescending tone or talk down or think I'm better or anything like that.

That's just not my personality. Sometimes it's to a fault where people forget that I do have authority in Christ and in the position that God is giving me.

So to a fault, sometimes people forget it because I don't taunt it or I don't promote it or anything.

But I will say in the area of tried faith that there are decisions that I have made me and my wife in our time being together in different things in ministry where our faith was tried and

and we we were victorious in those areas and i can teach you something there's not arrogant

or nothing but i can i can teach you something i can teach you something about those things even

going against pop culture going against pop culture going against

the culture going against family going against advice of others and different

things we've had to do where we just decided that we were going to do things God's

way and the way he was telling us and we held to that and it paid off dividends

we were blessed by and so in this area I'm not speaking as a novice

I mean I'm just being real I mean I ain't trying to get no position and you can be like

dayfing and core of them and say we equal it all you do that all you won't but in some of these areas i could help you

and that's why i'm preaching it because we have had uh some success in some of these areas not

everything but in some of these areas uh we you know um we we we've done well in them and so that's why

i was selected by god to teach you about it.

Can I say that without somebody getting?
