Thadius Sales shares his journey of encountering Jesus and finding love and acceptance in the church. Despite growing up in a non-Christian home, Thadius was drawn to church through a vacation Bible school and the love of other children. He experienced a heartwarming encounter with God and felt called to preach which was met with an opposing force of rejection and past hurts. Through reconciliation and the support of a discipleship group, Thadius found healing and a deeper understanding of God's forgiveness. The conversation covers topics such as reconciliation, discipleship, the challenges of pastoring, and the current season of growth in the church.
