Most Christians know the promises. Far fewer know the person behind them, and Waxer Tipton believes that gap is at the root of everything that is hurting the church in Hawaii today. The founder of One Love Church and one of the islands' most beloved Bible teachers, Waxer traces how his father's background in archaeology influenced him, how a cold letter to Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel led to a life-changing mentorship, and tells the unlikely story of how a chance encounter with a guy from Molokai set off a chain of events that would change the entire trajectory of his life. This is a conversation about what it actually means to abide, the “what and who” of our faith, and why that distinction changes everything.
