In this episode my guest is extra special to me. I not only love the beautiful way pastor John Abbott uplifts Jesus with his preaching but he’s also my dad! Pastor John has pastored in seven different states. He loves the ocean so he especially loved pastoring in Hawaii and Florida. He’s currently serving in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he lives with my mom, Maria, and my brother Noah. He loves to tell people that God is always GREATER than we think and the Gospel is always BETTER than we think! And he loves to help people see the power of prayer and how God speaks His healing words and guidance for us TODAY.
We discuss how Pastor John found encouragement as a young person growing up in California and in pastoral ministry; Pastor John’s testimony on finding a God worth giving his whole life to; how he infuses joy and humor into his ministry; his answer to the question, “why does God allow heartbreaking things to happen to people?” and “how is God’s heart postured toward all this hurt?” Pastor John shares what God is really like; how to not get stuck being negative; and practical ways to trust God through life.
