From the Occult to Christ | Paul Boggs II on Faith, Failure and Never Quitting

At 18, Paul Boggs II dropped his Bible and made a deal with the devil. Then two kids' drawings and one vision changed everything. Paul Boggs II is a marketing executive, creative director, entrepreneur and pastor with more than 30 years of helping people turn a vision into something the world can see. On this episode of Morning Fuel, he tells John Bundy about a childhood marked by abuse and drugs, his years in the occult, the night Jesus met him, and how getting fired from his first job led to a 21-day fast and a new calling. Key takeaways: - Be thankful for the "what the fails." Paul says they are part of the process. - "Champions aren't people who never fail. They're people who never quit." - God does not work in a straight line. He works setbacks into the main timeline for our good. - Investing in how God made you, including your creativity, makes you a more complete person and a more complete minister. - More than winning arguments, the goal is simply to be with God.
