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 evolving
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 17: Joseph
https://youtu.be/f42AmvE4wQs?si=L5FrvCC1oDqQYZtx
On this episode we speak with my friend Joseph (somesouthkoreanguy on Prayer Garden). Joseph and I met on the Prayer Garden Server and have been engaging in regular conversations over the past year. Joseph developed an early relationship with Christ by growing up in a Christian home and being active in their church, especially with Awana. We then listen to Joseph’s testimony about falling away from Christ as he battled family issues, depression, and a friend group that left him broken. However, the love his father showed him at his lowest moment turned Joseph back to Jesus. He now uses that same action of love to give back to his community and church through his passions of cooking and photography. We finally wrap up with a discussion about the end times, the solar eclipse that happened on 4/8/24, and through it all we must choose hope and faith over fear.
Thank you for tuning in! Together through Christ we have endless potential.
