When Joey Carlos had a client who spoke and acted differently than anyone he’d ever met, Joey wondered what exactly was distinctive about him. This client, Robert, gladly expressed that the presence of Christ in his life gave him hope and joy. As a result, Joey chose to follow Jesus.
But Joey didn’t stop there.
He eagerly shared this life-changing news with family members, friends and anyone interested in hearing. He had no idea where the simple faith step of beginning a conversation about God would lead.
Watch to find out what happened.

Who around you needs to hear of this hope? Where can you take the step of faith to begin a faith conversation?
