If you're real, can you come back into my life when I'm 18 and I'm more mature to be able to make a decision? I didn't know who to believe, this Pentecostal person, this other individual. I'm just like, I can't deal with this. I will have to address it when I'm 18. So I prayed that prayer, wrapped that Bible up and put it in the top of my closet.

I can remember one night I was with a friend and it was late into the night, early into the next morning. And he said to me, do you want to go to church with me tomorrow? I said, go to church with you? I had no idea that this individual professed to be a Christian. And he said, yeah, I play in the worship band. Like, we can go tomorrow. And I said, well, I don't know about that.

And I said, well, I don't know about that.

And he said, well, if you don't go and you die and you stand before God, you can never say you didn't have an opportunity. And I can remember at that moment, remembering this prayer I prayed when I was 13. I looked at my watch trying to figure out, am I 18? Like, how old am I? And realizing I'm 18.

And so I went to church that next day, and that began a serious exploration into the Christian faith. And the Lord did graciously save me, and very, very thankful for that. The sad news of that story is... is within about two months of being invited to go to church by that individual, he no longer professed faith. And to this day, I believe he is an ardent opponent of the Christian faith.

But the Lord used him as one of those means to draw me to himself.

I think my favorite part is learning along with the listeners. I'm not in the studio just reading a script. I spend time in those messages. I'm learning along with them and really thinking about why should a listener take 25, 26 minutes out of their day to hear this message.

and reflecting on it, and having the opportunity to be able to sit under the teaching of Dr. Sproul and other trusted teachers week in and week out as we prepare and produce and distribute Renewing Your Mind is just an incredible privilege and opportunity, and thankful every day that the Lord has given me the opportunity to do that.

Yes, yes. We really are going behind the scenes for our listeners. But I can remember we'd been talking about this for a couple of months, that perhaps this would be the next chapter for my season here at Ligonier Ministries. And we were thinking through, would this work? Is there a way that I could juggle these responsibilities along with some other responsibilities?

And I recall talking to you, Chris, and saying, you know, I actually think this could work. And the next day I got onto a plane and I went to California and we had a conference there and met with Ligonier friends. And before coming home, was involved in a serious car accident. I wasn't driving, someone else was driving, and a young man, recklessly driving, hit us head on.

And as a result of that, I had several months out of the office and then several more months recovering. And so we put a pause on whether or not I would be the next host. We didn't know, could I be the next host? What was going to be the outcome after that accident? But I'm thankful to report that... The Lord was so gracious, so kind.
