Tim was the most unique interview that I did because he has and has had no background in religion. Tim's life so far has been pretty tough on him. His parents split up when he was young and he spent most of his time living with his grandmother because his father was so abusive. I met Tim through the local music scene and we have played together a few times, now and then. David became very open to me and the idea of church through this interview. He made references to my Tweets (twitters) that I post about worship and my love for Jesus. I forget, fairly often, that it is not just Christians who read the things I put online. We are more of a witness to the unchurched than we really know. Time didn't except Jesus Christ as his Saviour yet, but we were able to schedule another time to hang out. God is growing my heart for the lost people. I am starting realize how hard my heart has become, I want to have a burning desire in my heart for the ones that His heart hurts for. It begins with asking Jesus to change my heart, break my heart for your people.
