When I gave my life to the Lord, I thought I'd be a preacher.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From my youngest days, I always felt certain affinities with the idea of being a preacher.
I don't like to consider myself a normal preacher. When you look at religious people, they're the ones who hung Christ from the cross. I look at myself as a man carrying a message of hope.
Had I been more religious in my youth, I might have become a pastor, for it was the pastoral role I'd sought.
I'm really passionate about God and religion, and I thought maybe I'm supposed to be a pastor.
My father was a minister, so I was a P.K., a preacher's kid.
I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.
My grandpa was a preacher.
Early in the winter of 2002, I gave my life to the Lord. Before I was one, I always thought being a Christian would be boring. In reality, it has been the complete opposite.
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.
I was born into a family of preachers.
