    The StoryField #62: The One with Chris Randall and Crazy God Story

    Chris Randall wrote “Crazy God Story: Faith Isn’t Blind” to document all the incredible things God has done in, to, and through him.  You can grab a copy of his book here.

    He was basically a gypsy by family heritage, having 45 addresses before the age of 18.

    He grew up a “Christian Schizophrenic” as he describes. A pseudo-Christian. 

    His life was trashed and in shambles as of December 2008, when everything changed, and he became a true believer and follower of Jesus.

    Then, the Lord asked Chris to begin a nonprofit mechanic company where he would fix cars for broke people for free and share the good news.  Behind the scenes, the Lord had both promised and was providing for his family as he worked for no pay.

    Join us today as we hear Chris’s amazing life story and all the incredible and crazy God things that happens when you follow in complete obedience to the Holy Spirit.
