Hi Steve, What a wonderful podcast, ‘Into the Lions Den’ is. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. As you spoke, I felt as if I was sitting there right beside you at that Creative Workshop. What you described was certainly, ‘In the world but not of it’. I have been all over the world with work and many a time in meetings and places of work similar to what you have just described. It has taken me nearly most of my sixty six years of life to get to that place where I can relax in the company of other folk with such differing values and lifestyles, which in some cases, were diametrically opposed to my own values and beliefs. In this I am also reminded of the scene from the film, ‘The Miracle Maker’ when Yeshua leaves the building site where he was working and says to his foreman, who pleaded with Him to stay, and Yeshua replies, “I have to be about my Fathers business”. As a believer, I have often found it not very easy to gain trust and respect from those with such different values, but to be accepted and respected and yet not compromise in the way you were able to do, shows that it can certainly be done. And what was really lovely was, you were just being yourself. Well Steve, before I get going I just want to say, Myself and Ange have already met with you on a couple of occasions and joined in on one of your Zoom meetings some while back. And now this podcast has certainly brought you back to mind. I will certainly be in touch soon. Every blessing, Paul Mac.
Thanks, Paul. It’s so encouraging to get feedback and it seems that report has had an impact on quite a few people. I couldn’t have survived that week without the prayers and encouragements of the saints, though
