Then God called me to Nashville (I Pinky Swear I'm NOT Musical/in the biz)I Didn't know 2 pretend 2B Perfect; I shared struggles openly-perhaps too so-took God at His Word, Evangelized passionately due to my experience & Prayed the same way. Many folks I met were 4 ever Christians,many worked @Church related Companies & Institutions(SBConvention,David__ Publ.etc.)I remember being kindly referred to as 'A breath of fresh air' by 1 of the folks. I only tried 2b transparent,was passionate about Evangelism & prayer Didnt know that many Feign perfection. Expect us to. I was a Grateful sinner.I too Struggled w/depression & substances, had emotional scars.I related to Chris Mullins experience Like no other! I Wore out copies of his Tapes,was blessed by his work. I feel this film may help me Return to My First Love as well. I've been in Church too long. Love to All.

I appreciated you confirmation that the move was "essentially accurate"... I "wandered into" getting "The Ragamuffin Gospel" about a year ago and have read it twice. <br /><br />So much of Rich's life seemed to be are clear reflection of his "Ragamuffin" struggles.. that we all have, if we are honest. i.e. "The Ragamuffin Gospel" puts his and our lives where it should be... only making sense if God's Grace covers us despite our weaknesses.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br />His Workmanshiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572497684932988934noreply@blogger.com
