As soon as God gave me the idea to do this series, I wished this influencer were here for me to interview him in person. Roland Classen left a mark on this world and in the lives of so many of us. He always pointed us to Jesus and did it with grace, conviction, humor and gentleness of spirit. I am forever a different person for having the privilege of knowing and being taught by him and I know I'm not alone in this. To have known Roland, was to be near Jesus. Simple as that. He was something special. Since I couldn't get him on the podcast, I did the next best thing and dug up one of his sermons from 2002. My prayer is that in this episode, you experience truth and God's love.
Thank you, Roland, for being our shepherd and leader for so long. Your legacy lives on in the lives of those who knew you. This episode is dedicated to you and your family.
