That’s awesome. I’d probably trust a preacher who looks like a plumber, rather than a choir boy. But as long as they’re preaching the truth I’m good with that. I became a believer about 1.5 years ago and haven’t gone to a church once. I do watch it on tv though. The Bible says the church is the believers, not a building somewhere. I’m not saying anything bad about churches. I just haven’t found the right one for me here. Especially since so many of them have sold themselves out.
I do like watching old videos of Billy graham preach. That guy was a warrior. I like to listen to John Hagee too.
I had been thinking about it more and more since the election... that I need to join up with a good community of people. I'm kind of a loner. One day I was working and saw a cool homemade Trump sign on a car parked near my job site and gave a thumbs up. We started chatting and the person implored me to come to their church. I thought, "Nah, I don't do that..." and as I left, I thought about how I'd been wanting to find one and that maybe this was a Holy Spirit intervention and I owed myself the chance to find out. Turns out it was. So just start with your intention/desire to find one and it when you least expect it, it will find you!
Thanks for the suggestions. One of my current favorites is a podcast called Desiring God. Down to earth and very listen-able. Charles Stanley is good, too. Calms my fears when I get too aware of the national goings-on.
Thanks, I’m going to give those a listen. I’m a bit of a loner too but it comes naturally to me. I guess because there are so many dumbasses in the world I don’t want to be around.

I hear you, it's been rare for me, too, to come across people that I want to have more than a brief superficial conversation with.
