Default I'm Joel

My name is Joel and I am a minister in Texas. I work at a homeless mission/church. My fiancee and I really want to stand with those who are trying to end the oppression that has been going on for far too long. I am seeking a way to open the eyes of people to the truth of unconditional love.

Welcome, Joel.

Just keep being that light of love, and those who are willing to see it, will.

What area of Texas if you don't mind the question? I lived in Houston for several years. Have family in Austin.

Thanks for being here. Come back and join our conversations anytime.

Default Hello, Joel and welcome!

So glad that you are here, and that you and your love want to educate others. It is so true, that if that light of understanding and embracing is coming from you, others will see it and hopefully respond. Looking forward to seeing you around Soulforce- we love this place.....

Thanks so much to everyone who has welcomed me! For those who have asked, I live in north East Texas. I have lost some friends and am an outcast in many circles here because of my beliefs. I am labeled as a "liberal" at best and often times a heretic. Thankfully there is a small but growing group of people who recognize that love is the answer.

I'm not exactly sure what I like the most about Texas. One thing I really like is the diversity, of people and geography. Texas is so large and contains almost every kind of terrain found in America. We have many different cultures and it is easy to find people who aren't just like you. I enjoy being around people who are diverse.
