Today, we're sitting down with Paul Pitts III, preacher and director of spiritual life at the Village Christian School in Los Angeles. Paul explains his personal testimony, how he began to come to the Lord in the sixth grade, and how family, church, and reading Scripture played important roles in his faith journey. He shares how the trajectory of his life changed from his goal of playing in the NFL to eventually attending seminary. We also discuss the authority and power of Scripture, dealing with doubts and temptations, the definition of "saints," the power of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, and more.
