Halfway There | Christian Testimonies | Spiritual Formation, Growth, And Personal Experiences With God

Dan Rudman is an evangelist who works on campuses, prisons, and around the world to spread the Gospel. He shares how God called him to this life through circumstances that looked like failure.

Heading into college he was “stiff-arming religion,” and floundered his freshman year.

But then he thought, “I wonder what he’s going to say. I wonder if it’s something I need to hear.” He went back to the movie and heard McDowell encourage viewers to get a Bible and read the first three chapters of John.
