Bobby Joiner shares his story of how his faith came early at the age of 12, but something happened shortly after that played a role in his decision to choose a different path, walking away from God.  He pursued his own pleasures, and in his words, "I made a lot of stupid decisions."  15 years later after being hurt, offended and frustrated about his story, God would use his wife, Debbie to get him studying the Bible which not only restored his faith, but changed his life course altogether.   His biggest discovery was the God he walked away from was not the God of the Bible. In fact, God was opposite of what Bobby thought.  "I went on a diligent pursuit of reading the Bible which truly brought me into a personal fellowship again with God." Bobby went on to serve God 30 plus years in prison ministry and serving as Winter Jam Tour pastor to some of the greatest Christian Music bands in the world.  His vulnerability and passion for God is a safe and trusting place for many Christian Music stars to confide in and remain steadfast in their faith. To this we can all thank God for people like Bobby who are unashamed of their past failures in light of what God can do when we open up and accept people where they are.
