As Real As You Are: Peter on Meeting the Lord, Serving Behind the Iron Curtain & Calling on His Name

Peter was raised Catholic, and wanted nothing to do with the "Jesus movement," until his mother sent him to a youth retreat in the 1970s. In this experience, Peter met the Lord in a way he could only call an "explosion of regeneration." Back at school that Monday, he told his friends that Jesus was as real to him as they were.In this episode, Peter traces the decades that followed: an early call to consecrate, learning what it means to be trained to be useful to the Lord, and selling his business and home to give himself fully to serve the Lord. He recounts moving his young family to Russia in the 1990s to reach seeking people and raise up churches. To Peter, the greatest blessing of his life has been participating in the move of God among the believers throughout revolution and war across the former Soviet Union and Ukraine.Throughout, Peter keeps returning to foundational experiences in our Christian life: coming to know the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, and calling on the name of the Lord as the shortest prayer.Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen now!
