Welcome to The Bridge, the weekly podcast from Bridge Chapel in Liverpool. This week, we're delighted to welcome to the show Dave Kidd. This is part 1 of a two part episode.
In this week's show, Dave shares the story of his early life and how he responded to the gospel when he was 7. He talks about the difficulties of school life and feeling different.
Dave goes on to talk about getting a job at 18 and then settling into working life and deciding not to come to church at all for many years. He describes an amazing holiday in New York and also how the events of 9/11 had a profound and lasting effect on him and how that brought him, reluctantly, back to church.
In part 2 next week, we'll hear about how Dave eventually began to open up and deal with an issue that he had been "pushing down' for all of his life and the way that shaped his life and relationship with Jesus.
