MOM GAVE ME A BIBLE FOR MY 20^th BIRTHDAY

   Tony Perkins is going to interview Congressman Randy Weber a Christian leader on Capitol Hill. On Randy’s 20th birthday on July 2, 1973, Randy saw a group of Christians who he described as having something he did not have, and he wanted it. His conversion experience coming to Christ that followed, turned his life completely around. After college, he married his wife, Brenda, in 1981 and started his own heating and air company. He said building his business required what his grandfather called, "Good old-fashioned Texas horse sense and a strong work ethic."

SERVING GOD IN GOVERNMENT

Interviewer Tony Perkins: My guest today on November 27, 2020 is Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana's 4th Congressional District, outgoing chairman of the Republican Study Committee, and a longtime friend. We were talking about your journey into politics. In fact, I remember we have done this together. We have done a course, we have taught on God and Government, I did that course years ago and you and Kelly were in that. I do not want to put words in your mouth but engagement in the culture is really an extension of our faith and I think that is the way you have approached it.

Sid Roth interviewer: I'm here with, Joe Oden. And Joe, you're channel-surfing one day, you're a drug addict, you're overdosed on LSD. Why in the world would you be watching an evangelist on television?

JOE: That's a great question. It wasn't set up that way, I was experiencing an OD as you said, and I stopped. And when I did there was a gentleman preaching and he said these words, "There's some young people that are watching this program and you're hooked on drugs. Not only are you hooked on drugs you're in a deep, dark cave of drug addiction, but I have good news for you. Jesus Christ is in the cave with you. He's going to bring you out, He's going to set you free and you're going to preach the gospel around America." When he said that, Sid, the power of God hit me in a La-Z-Boy chair. I was instantaneously sobered off the drug and I was called to preach the gospel. I would love to say at that moment I gave my life to Christ and I began to fulfill that call but I began to do more drugs than I'd ever done before.
