Episode 81: From knowledge to surrender with Warren Potter
A longtime friend of Desert Springs Warren Potter joined us in the studio to share his life story with us. There is an ease to this conversation that we really loved. Warren spent his early childhood in New York City but as he approached later elementary school, they moved to the countryside of Connecticut. He met his wife Kathy in high school on a double date that they were both on, though they weren't on the date with each other - that's a great story you'll have to listen in to hear. They married two years after high school shortly after Warren committed to serving in the Navy. Warren describes he and Kathy as being equally yoked in the sense that they both were not Christians but did have a sense of moral values. There had been instances here and there where both Warren and Kathy had heard about Jesus, but it wasn't until Warren had an intentional co-worker that he really came to know and understand the Gospel. Talk about living on mission! This changed their family forever. You'll hear about how Kathy also came to know the Lord and their journey as Christians who came to know Jesus as adults. Within that there was a process of moving from the head knowledge to the deeper understanding in the heart. We really appreciate Warren sharing his life's journey with us. Towards the end of the conversation Warren opens up about his surrender of fear and anxiety. It was something that plagued him for years and it wasn't until later in his life after he had retired that he came to a place that he felt he could truly release these struggles to God. His vulnerability is something we're grateful for!
