Of course, I didn't know how to share this truth or even how to handle this truth. But over the years, God has opened doors for me to speak, to write a book, to create a website, this blog and now to do podcasts. Every step is a learning process, but, wow, what a journey it is.

What keeps me going? I truly believe what I have learned. I am convinced! Like Paul, who wrote to the Corinthians, he said:

"The following is written, "I believed; therefore, I spoke." We have that same spirit of faith. We also believe; therefore, we also speak." (2 Corinthians 4:13 GW)

I too speak and share because this discovery is my heart, my joy, my passion and my delight!

The truth I am so passionate about is this: There is a difference between religion, rules  and relationship with Christ. And, when we learn all about the relationship, we discover several other truths. My favorite: There is a difference between happiness and joy. If you want to hear more about my discoveries, tune into my first podcast with Pastor Bob at Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast.

"We had such an interesting conversation, I was actually able to make TWO EPISODES from it! Part One is live NOW (Thursday, September 2nd). Part Two will go live tomorrow (Friday, September 3rd). Both episodes will air on “Evangelism Radio” on their respective day of publication from 2-230pm ET to our worldwide audience in over 160 nations." Pastor Bob

I invite you to listen to Part One and Part Two of my interview with Pastor Bob
