Soooo Good!!! I totally coincide, harmonize, flow with everything he said. I saw the film and I posted it on FB and a friend of mine who grew up Seventh Day Adventist and now is atheist must have paid attention to my post and sent me text about another podcast with Carlton Person. I was an SDA myself along with my husband and kids, but now my husband and I attend an Episcopal church in Pasadena Ca. And have never regretted it, because ALL are welcomed to His table. We Love your program! Keep it coming!
