When I came to investigate the possibility of coming to Second, John M Edie was my host. The key moment came when he took me to see the new auditorium under construction.
I knew a building like this, being constructed without a Pastor, was a tribute to the man who was hosting me. The steel girders were making a massive building skeleton.
John, knowing a preacher's heart, took me to a huge mound of dirt. He had me climb it with him. When at the top, he said, this is where the pulpit will be. It was a surreal moment, overwhelming. I think John knew it would be a clincher for the deal.
