I remember Sherry telling me one time that she would never even take me back even if I was a preacher.
You were wrong about that. She was wrong about that. I'm a persistent fellow.
So remember I talked her out of believing that God was real.
And here I am, you know, my friend died a month earlier and here I am trying to preach
the God that I had already destroyed to her several months ago.
So I'm here trying to just get her to get on the same page with me.
I worked on her for four months. She was a hard case.
But you know, it's not like I was some seasoned veteran soul winner that went through Pastor Jimenez's soul winning videos.
I'm just trying to give her what I've got and don't remember all the verses and stuff like that.
So I'm just shooting from the hip on a lot of stuff.
But I was learning things from Kent Hovind.
So I was just learning basic Baptist fundamentals.
And so one night I was kind of just like, man, is she ever going to get saved?
And so I was over there and I was going through, I know I was going through Bible verses with her in Romans and things like that.
I finally just told her, I said, you know what, Sherry, I said, if you and the kids drove away from here tonight
and you all died in a fiery car crash, all the kids would go to heaven and you'd go to hell.
She's like, get out of my house right now.
I was like, well, that didn't really work out.
It seemed like a great illustration at first.
But, you know, she kicked me out of the house, basically.
She had kicked me out of the house quite a few times when I was trying to give her the gospel.
But, you know, after I told her that, she went downstairs and called upon the name of the Lord
before she went to bed that night.
And so she told me about it and I was super excited about it because, you know, I didn't know a lot,
but I did know that if I was going to marry her, she needed to be saved.
So even though I messed up in the past with her and things like that,
we were together for five years before we were even saved.
So I wanted my family back.
I wanted to have a wife. I wanted to have a normal family.
And, you know, so she got saved. She told me about it.
And so we decided to go to church.
I was like, well, I'm not going to anything but a, you know, a King James-only Baptist church.
And, you know, the people that gave my wife the stuff to give to me went to a King James-only Baptist church.
So we went to this church and there was a guest preacher preaching that night.
He was preaching on prophecy.
And I was there in my shorts and my t-shirts smelling like cigarettes,
sat down, and every time he says something, I'm putting my hand up.
Then I was just asking him question upon question about things.
And he was very patient with me, but I'm literally interrupting his sermon.
That's how unchurched I was.
Like, I didn't know you weren't supposed to ask questions during the services.
I thought it was a Bible study, okay?
