Bryce had a transformative encounter at a Waffle House where Jesus met him in ways totally unexpected. This revelation of Jesus led Bryce to dive deeper into his faith and start sharing Jesus with people on the streets of L.A., all over social media where over a million people follow him and some of the darkest places in the world!Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Understand the importance of inviting Jesus into every aspect of your life, however mundane or insignificant it may seem.Discover the power of experiencing Jesus for oneself, rather than just knowing about Him theoretically or through other people's stories.Learn about the danger of relying on external sources for validation or satisfaction, rather than seeking fulfillment through a personal relationship with God.ResourcesMore from the Revelations Podcast: Website | Instagram | Apple PodcastConnect with Bryce Crawford: Instagram | Tiktok | SnapchatPulse MovementSystematic Theology by Wayne GrudemBible VersesPsalm 91-107James 5:17Psalm 139Luke 241 Corinthians 13:5This Episode is brought to you by Advanced Medicine AlternativesGet back to the active life you love through natural & regenerative musculoskeletal healing: https://www.georgekramermd.com/Episode Highlights[4:41] Why did Bryce choose to become a Christian?Bryce's decision to become a Christian was the result of a personal journey and realization that the things he was trying to fill the hole in his heart with could not provide him with the peace, joy, and fulfillment that he was seeking.He rejected other religions that require working for salvation because he saw that he couldn't even fill the hole in his heart without help.Bryce's family saw him as the Christian member of the family, but he didn't fully embrace Christianity until a later age when he had his own personal revelation and encounter with Jesus.This made him realize that only through a relationship with Jesus can he receive salvation, renewal, and a sense of purpose.[11:25] God’s Revelation at Waffle HouseA man at Waffle House who Bryce shared a meal, confided in him about his divorce.
