Stand Up For The Truth Podcast - Barbara Charles Pement: A Time For Every Purpose

Mary welcomes Barbara Pement, formerly senior editor of Cornerstone Magazine of Chicago, is a writer, teacher, wife, mom and grandmother. Barbara grew up on Chicago’s Southside in Maple Park, Chicago’s first African American homeowners’ neighborhood. She joined Jesus People USA in her 20s where she met her husband of 44 years. Barbara has a BA in journalism from Bradley University and has studied radio/television broadcasting at Columbia College in Chicago. Currently she is actively involved with Ratio Christi on the University of North Florida campus, a ministry that equips and trains students in apologetics. Today we look at her rich and varied life through 2 books:  “Was…Was That Jesus?” her memoir of 23 years at Jesus People USA.  Her latest is, “Maple Park: Gathered Treasures of Black Life in the ‘60s”. They can be found here. We talk about her testimony, her upbringing, her years at JPUSA. Through all her seasons of life, the Lord was clearly directing her steps, and hearing her testimony will encourage those who struggle with piecing together various seasons where events sometimes just don’t always bring clarity on this side of eternity.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
