A Guy Named Bill

Back in 2008 or something, I “happened”  to be surfing the web. I had been warned about a dangerous group in KC, MO, that had this horrible thing called a Prayer room.

i heard enough about them that the more I heard and the more I was warned about them, the more intrigued and curious I became. I was determined to find out more about these people.

In the course of web surfing, for what, I hardly knew, I stumbled across something called GodTV and footage of some charismatic crazies (yes, it IS hysterical) at a place called Lakeland. Whatever that was all about.

And there was a tattoed loudmouth named Todd something, Bentley or something.

I did not know what that was all about. All I knew is that i did not have any of it and (I was still a more or less good Mennonite boy at the time) I wanted it… whatever they had.

So I googled a name someone mentioned to me, a guy named Bill from some place in California.

I googled him and watched the first video that came up. It was an inverview or monologue of teaching of some sort.

I grew more intrigued and interested and curious. And insanely thirsty.

Fastforward a few years and a lot of stuff. This week, I get to be in the same room as that guy named Bill.
