(From 2017) One of the great blessings in my life has been my connection to Bishop Sherman Watkins. He is my spiritual father. Bishop Watkins was a critical influence in my life, especially following the death of my father when I was just a teenager. Bishop Watkins remains an inspiration and a mentor to me. There is tremendous value in long-standing relationships. I hope you enjoy part one of our four-part conversation from this year's Pisgah/Gideon conference.
