    Love that statement: “ . . . serving God is not about behavior modification, it’s about a heart change . . .”

    "I just want the everyday Christian to know that you can do this.... you can be an evangelist." What an encouraging and inspiring conversion story and bold, loving Christian life!

    As an ex JW I love the part where he said that worshipping God isn’t so much behavior modification ( of course that’s part of it) it’s a heart change. I prefer the latter because living within ridged man made rules within religious institutions and cults robs a person of JOY and the intimate relationship with our Creator ❤

    Such a beautiful testimony. I’m weeping with joy.
    I just wanted to add, my mother-in-law loved Jesus and spent her last months at home with our family which included three little boys. Oma loved JESUS. Every day she would pray that Jesus would come for her that night…. she couldn’t WAIT to see his face. The morning we found her asleep in Christ, my little boys were praising the Lord cheering for Oma that Jesus had finally come! Our house was filled with worship and joy that day.
    Welllllllll, the “problem” was when when family came by to say their last respects, they were OFFENDED at our joy. It really reflected to us the difference between the worldview of death of a believer to fellow believers and death to unbelievers.
    We miss you, Oma but we know you are with your precious Jesus at long last 🎉❤🙏

    Thanks Sean for these videos and Preston for sharing with such honesty. I was a nihilistic, communist atheist until not so long ago. I'm wrestling with my changes at the moment, and these stories are a blessing to me and I think to many others.

    Dr. Sean. I just subcribed to your channel. This is only the 2nd time I've ever listened to one of your interview podcast. This one with Mr. Perry, and the one with the minister Saudi convert. And I must say. You have great ppl skills. You ask great questions, and you are a great listener. God bless.

    One of the most touching things about this testimony for me is his grandmother's narration of that family death. I didn't realise that less than 24 hours later, I would be facing grief yet again. Losing my mother and brother seven months apart is by far the hardest thing I've ever endured

    so amazing to have you both do a convo together! You guys are two people I recommend to others. Preston thank you for your raw testimony. I lost my grandmother to cancer 2 years ago and the Lord was so good and provided during that time. I watched her slowly die and that is something I grappled with her as well like your bestfriend, we prayed for her and told her about the gospel, but I can't read her heart and I've always struggled with that. So thank you for sharing that part of your testimony because I have felt so alone and like no one understood where I was coming from. Sean thank you for being such a light an example of how we should have humility and be kind you have helped me to remember to be gentle and gracious with people and to remmeber it's not about being right it's about Christ. you both are amazing!

    The power of the knowledge of Christ & understanding what He saved us from makes me cry. It is SO powerful, Preston crying makes me weep 😭 too. I always cry when I’m reminded what evil Christ took me out of. Foremost, bc Salvation moves us out of darkness into God’s grace & mercy. What we become aware of, some ppl sooner & others later or eventually, is Christ Jesus’ amazing, marvelous Light ☀️. We absolutely walk in a spot of total Light. This is what I believe our enemy dislikes most about us. If you don’t know it yet then take my word, you are loved by the Father & not loved by His enemy or enemies. Tho we may not see it with natural eyes, we live surrounded by constant spiritual warfare. This is worth weeping over: that knowing Christ has rescued us & continues to redeem us daily from a Most! horrible Dark! reality that exists on the other side of the curtain. Amen to the Reality(s) of Salvation 💜 Love Preston’s heart, humility, testimony & powerful witness!! His grandmother was wise. We none escape pain & suffering.

    I especially like your testament of your friends coming to you for Spiritual advice, you were the closest thing to right that they could see or know! God can and does use us where we are, as we grow in Him! I was one of those guys looking for that advice, we go to where we know untill something (someone )more Excellent comes along. God can use the foolish things of the world to confound the wise(in their own eyes).

    This is not related to Mr. Perry (which i love) - but as I've restarted reading Scripture from the Beginning, I wonder about Egypt, why has God been so favorable towards them. So many nations don't even exist anymore because of their shenanigans but Egypt keeps on ticking. Is there a Biblical reason for this?

    Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time
    The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits
    So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply
