Forgiveness - Richard Estes

Being raised up in the bars playing poker and billiards in the back room taking peoples money, is when Richard started questioning God. It was not until he was fed up, he told his father to get him back on track where he started to work as a superintendent. Forgiveness is something we all tend to struggle with, and it was not different for Richard. By the time Richard was 30 years old, is when he knew he had to step up and be the spiritual leader his family needed him to be. That is where he started going to different mission trips around the world from Central America to Ukraine where he had set his focus on the most. Where he tells us about a time when he was in Ukraine where Russians soldiers were looking for Christians, as he happened to stumble upon one on the train. As Richard told him is purpose of the visit he was let go by the Russian solider. We also, talk about the current war that is happening between Russia and Ukraine and how it has affected him. As he is no stranger about going to uncomfortable places where he has been to 16 different prisons sharing the good news and where he has learned how to forgive. Where Richard leaves us with the following, to be very understanding of other peoples needs even if they are not living the best way. #Ukraine #Nicaragua #Prison #podcast #friends
