Had I been more religious in my youth, I might have become a pastor, for it was the pastoral role I'd sought.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
From my youngest days, I always felt certain affinities with the idea of being a preacher.
I was in Christian broadcasting back in the 1970s. I was director of communications for James Robinson, and I really thought Christian broadcasting was going to be my career. There have been so many twist and turns in my life; of course I haven't been a pastor for almost 22 years, but it was a very important part of my life.
When I gave my life to the Lord, I thought I'd be a preacher.
I'm really passionate about God and religion, and I thought maybe I'm supposed to be a pastor.
When I was young, I was religious.
My father was a minister, so I was a P.K., a preacher's kid.
From my childhood I had been intended for the clergy. This prospect hung like a dark cloud on my mind.
I did think of becoming a priest quite late on, when other boys were thinking of knocking over fences and going out with girls. I would have made a very good bishop: nice housekeeper, nice clothes - god, the clothes.
I became a Christian because I met God.
It was only after 20 years of being dunked in the religious culture that I got caught up in 'religion.' I had no exposure to Christianity as a child. I was not raised in a Christian home. I became spiritually hungry in high school.
