On this episode of the podcast I welcome Pastor Steve Dawson, the Care Ministries Pastor at First Free Church in Onalaska, Wisconsin. We had a great conversation about his past, including good times and struggles, where he finds joy, and what brought him to First Free.

Steve truly has a heart filled with love for God, and it's brought out through his ministry and life's work. I hope you enjoy!

Some quotes from the episode:

When times are bleak, we both chose to turn towards one another, and work on it, and do the individual stuff we needed to do. I couldn’t change her, she couldn’t change me, I could only change me, and there was a lot I needed to change.

It’s worth it to do that work (personal change). It’s hard at the time, you feel defensive, you feel like you can’t do anything right, but that’s continuing to be selfish.

I’ve been here (in Onalaska/La Crosse area) two and a half years, and I’ve never been more content in my life.
