BRAD POWELL ONLINE

Hi Brad! Listened to your interview again, and was wowed again, by all that you said. Your personal history leading to transformation, by being sculpted from the inside out by God, then to make the decision to give your whole life to sharing God’s hope and light with the world that needs it, was awesome to hear. So glad you shared it and so grateful/thankful you made that most important decision. How many lives you have motivated/led to His transformation since then…! I liked that you are a Pastor “that introduces people, not to rituals and traditions, but to a true day by day life-transforming relationship with a God who is real”. This has happened to me at NRC in my search for life’s true meaning. Your life and its dramatic transformation by the Lord has made you a great minister as you defined it: 1) an authentic person who genuinely has a life-defining relationship with Jesus Christ, and 2) an authentic person who genuinely loves/has a great heart for people. You have led Temple Baptist’s transfomation by God to the Church of Acts 2:41-47, focusing it outward as Jesus meant it to be. Your drive and passion for Him is so evident! At NRC I have learned that surrendering to God all my dreams and goals and focusing on HIm, trusting Him, is “more than enough” and He WILL provide. Thank-you for your leadership! So glad to hear you speak on so many different topics in this interview, including Jesus as the Messiah, prayer and reading the Bible, teenagers, NRC, etc. You are one of the great treasures of Michigan – so glad you came back and stayed these 20 years!!! Many more peope still need to hear His Word through you…:-)
