Olivia and I sat down with Pastor Nathaniel Bradford of Mountain View Church of Flagstaff and he shared his amazing story and the road from a very tough upbringing that initially led to violence, homelessness, and alcohol and drug use, but ultimately led to salvation through Jesus Christ and eventually becoming a pastor. This was one of my favorite interviews, as Pastor Nathaniel also shares the meaning of Christmas, biblical stories, and more.
