#182 - A Jesus Freak Bears Fruit

While the young people of Southern California were indulging themselves in the excesses of the late 1960's, God was busy rocking their world. The Jesus Movement was born and long-haired hippies started coming to Christ in a steady stream. Ed Underwood was part of that movement, and you will hear his story about that start to his present-day ministry. After stints as a firefighter and a commander in the Army tank corp., he attended Dallas Theological Seminary to get his Th.M., pastored several churches (including 21 years at the famous Church of the Open Door in Glendale, CA), and taught and teaches at Bible schools and seminaries. After retiring from the pastorate, he started the Recentered Group which helps churches reconnect to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. A long advocate for the gospel of grace, Ed serves on the board of the Free Grace Alliance and has authored books about his story: When God Breaks Your Heart and Reborn to Be Wild. You can see these and many other resources on his website, https://www.recenteredgroup.com/. Listen to and share his fascinating story of God's life-changing grace.
