It went very well. She's open about everything. When I mentioned what the Methodist church believes about Spiritual Gifts she immediately said, "Tongues?" I was like, "All of them, not just tongues." lol. I knew a lot of stuff before she told me but it was interesting. She said that she didn't want to force me but wanted me to think about joining the Methodist church. I was thinking, "No way sister. I'm Pentecostal and I'm not joining a liberal church like this." LOL. I didn't say it but I sure did think it. lol.
So she said, "Let's meet again after you come back from France." I was like, "Ok!" So we're meeting again but I have no idea what we're going to talk about. Oh! I know...the Supernatural! Yes, she's very open to the supernatural. It's a start. hahahaha.
Thanks for asking about how it went!
God Bless you,

Yes, I love to teach. Whether kids or adults, I just love to teach.
To read accounts of the origin of the Methodist church, it certainly seems like they were Spirit-filled and operated in all the gifts. I visited that church with my then fiance in the 70's, though, and it seemed like it was a "save yourself" theology with no power, and no move of the Holy Spirit. Now in the 0's it seems even further from the Lord.
My fiance became my husband, we've been married for more than 36 years, and we still both love the Lord. Over the years we have been part of many churches. Finally, we have a saying we admonish each other with: there are enough dead churches; we need to be part of something that is alive.
Today we go to a tiny church. Tiny--but mighty in the move of the Lord, and therefor growing all the time. People are hungry for the Lord, they want the truth that will set them free, not some watered down theology that isn't even consistent with the Word of God.
Just my thoughts.
Be blessed in the Lord today, Josh! I pray that our beloved Father will show you where He wants you, and that you will be blessed in every area of your life, and in all you do.
Ps. 32:7-8
