I almost threw my iPod in the trash when I noticed I listened to 15 minutes of a missionary exalt mostly himself and not God. Presenting Christ as some abstract object by which someone must make a one-time decision so some self-exalting man can boast about his numbers is practically atheism. BTW, I see this a rare bad apple in a very good podcast. Next time, try to steer the interview to what God has done.
