In this new series my goal is to talk to people about their observations and life events. I want to draw out peoples real thoughts. No matter the topic I want people to be open about what they really think. Whether it be about the state of christianity, the church, theology, and find out what has shaped them. Some will be very open and others not so much. But the goal to to know them and the thoughts they are cultivating.

Today our guest is Levi Tolbert: Levi grew up in the church. He has grown up in the Independent Baptist world and we will talk about the short comings and great blessings of this upbringing.

Welcome to an update on my personal recent life changes and the podcast. I also want to talk about a global mindset and how we can be effective in ANY place.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.

Josh Selvidge - An amazing Christian, Father, Husband, Attorney, and Army paratrooper. He joins me on the podcast to talk about what it is to walk with God and tips for young people learning to walk with God.

Guest

Andrew and Ale Dabbs live in Romania working in the ministry and doing a bit of travel to bordering countries.

They’re in their early to mid twenties and newly married just walking with God and living by faith.

Join us as we talk about God leading through hard times, heartbreak, and powerful moments.

I have really enjoyed my time so far with the I.M.S.I. team and want you all to know some of them as well. Joshua has a powerful testimony where God showed himself strong and good.

If God puts it on your heart to help support I.M.S.I. you can find more about them with this link.

Special Guest

Darren and Jane Purdy, AKA Mom and Dad

Learn a little bit more about our family and what my parents have learned. The greatest strength of my parents is their desire to love God and willingness to grow. As God moves among friends and family I see them just simply sit, pray, and show compaction as God does His perfect work.

I sit and consider what better parents can a person have. Parents are not meant to be perfect. They are meant to educate, love and ultimately interduce the child to the Savoir that can give them eternal life. Here and more intimately after death. John 17:3 KJV
