Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
🙏Prayer Garden Podcast Episode 16: Andrew (thatoneasianguy)🙏
https://youtu.be/MxNwUW4V9j0?si=HodkkF68aLAVkUm_
On this episode we speak with my friend Andrew (thatoneasianguy on Prayer Garden). Andrew and I met on the Prayer Garden Server about one year ago and has brought many interesting and engaging topics of discussion to the server. We get to hear Andrew's testimony about growing up in the Catholic Church and how he still cherishes the Church today. We also talk about Andrew's love for God, his love for science, and how he is following Jesus to guide him on a path to either being a priest or an aerospace engineer. We have a great discussion about Andrew's interest in space, the different dimensions, and how it comes together with God as the creator of it all.
Thank you for tuning in! Together through Christ we have endless potential.
Andrew chose to not be on camera for the Podcast. If anyone wishes to tell their story but not be on camera, we will always welcome that request.
