At the campfire, we join by Paul Granger to explore spirituality.
About Paul
Through serving in various forms of ministry for over two decades, Paul has realized the predominant theme has been cultivating authentic, accessible space to process God and life.
You can learn more about me through my profile, my podcast "Where did you see God", and at wheredidyouseeGod.com.
The "shepherding/pastoral" gifting gives Paul the unique ability to cultivate rich dialogue and process life's difficult questions. While he has many stories to share of his journey of learning who God is, who he is, and what that means for his life, he knows God can use any conversation to do "abundantly more" than simply telling his stories.
Paul enjoys sharing what it means to take crazy steps of faith, persevere through hardship, and hold firm to the belief that "God is God and God is good", no matter the circumstances.
