The Teapot Christian | Bob Beam (Part 2)

"That’s the only time you pray—when they dip you in hot water." In Part 2 of our series, Bob Beam describes his early encounter with faith as a "Teapot Christian"—someone who said the "magic words" at a Billy Graham crusade while high, but whose heart remained unchanged. Bob takes us on a cross-country journey from the Poconos to Seattle and back again, sharing how he became a "Jack of all trades" out of necessity and how a moment of desperation involving two cans of Spam revealed a glimpse of grace. But as the shadows of his past catch up to him, the road leads to an unexpected 18-year destination.Follow the Journey: This is Part 1 of a 4-part series.
