Deep Questions, The Fair, and Four Spiritual Laws | The Testimony of Jeff Iorg

Jeff Iorg [https://www.gs.edu/about/president-jeff-iorg/]is the president of Gateway Seminary [https://www.gs.edu/] in Los Angeles.  For much of his tenure in this position he was the chaplain for the San Francisco Giants. Before this he was the executive director of the Northwest Baptist Convention. He is also the founding of Pathway Church in Gresham, Oregon. He is also the author of 10 books on church and Christian leadership. Jeff's life has been devoted to Christian ministry and leadership, but if you were to look at his early childhood you would not have expected it. His first memory is of fleeing Georgia with his mom to get away from his dad. For protection he lived under a false name, something that created an identity crisis for him.  His family never attended church. Then one summer day, everything changed. This is the story of how God used Jeff's deep questions, a booth at the fair, and Four Spiritual Laws to save Jeff's life and soul.

Lunch With a Friend | The Testimony of Frank Rich

Frank Rich was an award winning bodybuilder. He is a successful entrepreneur and the creator of The Super Human Life podcast. To say it in a word, Frank is a builder.  These days Frank runs a company called Rebuilt Recovery [https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage]. This company helps men break free from pornography addictions. For most of his life though, Frank focused on building Frank. He constructed a life with a chiseled body, money, women and admiration. It seemed like he had it all, but it all left him lonely, drinking too much, and addicted to pornography. What changed Frank? What moved him to focus on building others instead of self? He gave his life to Jesus, and in turn, Jesus gave him forgiveness, hope, purpose, freedom, peace and joy. This is the story of how God used a casual lunch and two simple questions from a friend to change Frank's life.
