I don't rec videos all that often because of bandwidth and other considerations. I don't want to steer people to something they won't find worthwhile. This one is worth the effort, imo.

Rudd understands the meaning of the gospel, unconditional love.

I appreciate the respect in how Rudd and the pastor displayed in this video. The pastor spoke from a place of fear, which denies a place for the love Jesus commanded.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1.7

Rudd has overcome fear and his mind is working.
