My Testimony on the One80 Podcast

Francis Thomson wrote a poem in 1890 called The Hound of Heaven that perfectly captures the story of my Christian journey. We don’t read poetry much anymore, but if you read the poem you may find it describes your journey too. Being a Christian of the Reformed perspective, I believe that Jesus came to earth specifically to “save his people from their sins,” as the angel of the Lord told Joseph in his dream when he was commanded to give Jesus his name (Matt. 1:21). Having listened to hundreds of testimonies over the last several years, it is amazing to me the infinite variety of ways he is able to accomplish this. As I look back over these forty four and a half years(!), it’s clear I didn’t stand a chance, thanks be to God. He was going to have me whether I wanted Him or not! He is faithful, even when we are not because his covenant promise to his Son will never fail. It was an amazing honor to share my story after so many years. (I really need a new “publicity” photo. This one was six years and over 20 pounds ago!)
