    My dad actually worked with Bradley several years ago at a job that had nothing to do with music. I think it was around that time that he recorded his first album. I have a copy on cd that my dad brought home from work. Glad to see people like Vince and Clapton recognizing his talent. And what a wonderfully humble person with obviously amazing parents.

    Man, this video gave me chills. So happy for Bradley and so proud of Eric for doing this for him. I saw Eric live, in concert in the summer of 1974 and the memory of that day is etched in my brain. I’ve basically worshipped the man for over 50 years. And although he would hate to have someone say that about him, he’s not about hero worship at all, it’s still the truth. The only reason I learned how to play the guitar was so I could play the solo to “Crossroads”, note for note. I accomplished that and then I quit. That’s all I wanted to do with the guitar. How funny. But, getting back to this video, so powerful, so wonderful, so full of love.. God bless you Bradley, Eric and Vince. God bless you all.

    I love how God let’s you hear something that affects you just at the right time. I just came in from the snow after a chance encounter of a young man stuck in the snow on our property. He was trying to figure out which of the three houses he should deliver a package at. It was obvious that he was ill -equipped to be on the roads in so much snow. His rundown minivan with bald tires, light jacket and dirty tennis shoes secretly told a story. He was angry and discouraged. My landlord wasn’t home to help him out so I grabbed a shovel and drove him down to his car. It took us a good half hour to get him out. At that point I also was stuck and he wanted to stay and help me get out. I told him I had nowhere to go today and he needed to finish his route. I would be fine. I could tell that the kindness of a stranger was a great encouragement to him. I love little chance encounters where God can use us in seemingly small ways. Keep sending out these stories! They are so encouraging!

      This sounds like me. Not the delivery part. I was just a young man trying to get around in an old beat up car with bald tires. No money for gas, or anything else. If someone wanted to go somewhere, I would take up a collection, 63 cents, that’s enough for about 2.5 gallons. I could tell many stories about the adventures.

    Wow, such a beautiful story. I love to see the work of God happening through Bradley's life (first time I'm hearing/seeing him). It's a special grace to be an overcomer in the midst of physical challenges - it gives glory to Jesus Christ - and it is 'salt' & 'light'. Incredible that Eric Clapton recognized this (thinking of his comment - the most 'pure' thing he had run across in awhile) and he chose to share his platform / honor that. You can see Mr. Clapton has a wonderful heart and has overcome so much himself.

    First I watched some interview with Eric Clapton where he mentioned Bradley and the Crossroads event. So I googled Bradley and came across this video. It does wonders for me in my heart what God is doing through people like Bradley, Vince Gill, and Eric Clapton. I call my brother Keith the "miracle man." He asked me why I call him that. I told him, "Because it's a miracle you're still alive." And today as I watched first Eric's interview, I thought to myself that Eric is another "miracle man." God has done such a work in Eric's life. That means a tremendous lot to me. I had an alarm clock set to radio when I was in high school, and early one morning I was awakened by Sunshine of Your Love. That made me an Eric Clapton fan immediately. So to see how God has moved in his life really causes me to praise God.
    I'm a songwriter .... but of course like countless others, just an unknown. Here is one of my songs I hope Bradley can hear so it can bless him: ua-cam.com/video/2fUM85Nrk5o/v-deo.html
