Farewell, My King Podcast


For many years, I stayed away from church because I didn’t feel like I fit in with the “church crowd.” I always believed in Jesus Christ, but I never studied the Bible. Well, that all changed one day back in early 2004 when I was forty-three years old. What prompted this change? All it took was a simple invitation over dinner from a customer and friend named Tom Douridas to come to visit his church. We accepted the invitation and soon visited Tom’s church near our home in northeast Georgia. There, we met a wonderful man named Pastor Jeff Rogers.


After only a few months, and for the first time in my life, I found myself comfortable enough with a church to join it. As I look back on it now, that day actually started my journey away from the world’s ways, and towards God’s ways.
