I’d like to go back to an address I made to the General Conference of Elders of the United Church of God on May 2, 2020.  This was to be our biggest conference yet, celebrating 25 years of the United Church of God’s existence.  We planned for 80% of the ministry to come to Cincinnati, OH for the special event.  As it turned out, this date was in the midst of the darkest days of COVID-19 pandemic.  The in-person conference was canceled.  I did speak to our ministry, but it was in an empty room with everyone listening online wherever they were in the world.

Our theme for Conference was Conviction, Commitment and Courage. 

I chose to speak about Courage as it applied to our outlook on the world and how we need to face challenges in doing our Work, such as in the time of COVID which we were in and didn’t know how things would work out. 

I was inspired to post this as a podcast because of a person who wrote to me how they found this message online and how it helped her face a current life’s trial.

So, here it is...going back to May 2, 2020 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
