Practical Faith Academy - Episode 3 - Gordon Holmes, the Viral Rideshare Servant

The Practical Faith Academy Podcast from Cecil Taylor Ministries presents guests who have important things to say about putting your faith into practice. Cecil interviews each guest to understand their life stories and their ideas for living a seven-day practical faith.

This episode focuses on how an everyday person went viral for picking up a TV personality, and how the event allowed him to share his faith here. Gordon Holmes is known as “My Guy,” a driver who offers a wide range of services. When he gave a ride to Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame, and Mike posted about it on Facebook, Gordon’s life changed immediately. Cecil contacted Gordon to share his thoughts on this podcast for putting faith into practice.
