Sen. Julian Carroll the former Governor of Kentucky, and now the state senator of Kentucky was on the show today. He is a part of Pastor Jim’s board of directors and the person monumental for the restoration of his life and ministry. Pastor Jim tells the heart tugging story about how 70 people came and laid hands on him and recommissioned him to go out to preach again. He tells the difficult time in his life when he thought his life was over. Lori goes on to speak of her appreciation for the 70 men who have come to restore the hurting sheep back into the fold. Pastor Jim speaks candidly about his prison time and the things that he went through during the restoration process.

Pastor Jim talks about the first time he went to church when got out of prison. His nerves got the best of him as he came in and sat in the back. He said people did not respond to him well, but Pastor Dan Betzer had him come before the congregation. The entire church began to gather around him. He talks about the fear he still fights after that day. Pastor Jim never thought a church would receive him and he would never preach or be restored. He shares about how he prayed during his darkest hours. He didn’t know if he would survive. We all need each other. Restoration is for everyone.

Pastor Jim shares a clip from 1978 that the shows director, Andrew, had found. This was his first contact with Sen. Julian Carroll in Bradenton, Florida. In the clip, the Senator, then Governor of Kentucky, has sent an invitation for Pastor Jim to come to Kentucky for the “Happy Goodman Homecoming”. Pastor Jim was honored with becoming a “Kentucky Colonel”, an honorary degree to become a member of the Governors staff and aide to camp.
