I want to meet Walt Kallestad, Walton. I have this shared passion for moving everybody, every day, closer to Jesus. I want people to hear what a real guy, you know, somebody other than myself that’s having so much fun doing what you do. So how did it start for you? Were you always a face share, or did it just happen over a period of time? Or what turned the light on

Walt Kallestad 00:26

in high school and college? I really had so many friends. I was involved in athletics and a bunch of different kinds of things where my friends didn’t want to go to church, and I thought, why don’t you want to go to church with me? So I’d go alone. And they said, well, it’s boring. And I thought, how can you make faith that is so exciting and so dynamic? How can you make it incredibly boring? I started talking to my friends, and I had a friend that I wanted to I was working out with him, and I wanted to share Christ, and he took off in his car, and he never came back. He was in a tragic accident that took his life, and I promised God and said, God, I am going to share my faith. There is nothing going to come between me and sharing the good news in people’s life.

You lose somebody like that, and you know, they didn’t know, and I may have been the only person in their life to tell them, you know, we have that responsibility every day, everybody we’re with. We don’t know we may be here tomorrow, but will they be here tomorrow? We don’t know how important is face, sharing in your day.

Oh, it’s one of the top priorities. In fact, it is the top priority, because I want people to I want their life to count, and I know their destiny and their their eternity is at stake every day. Yeah, well, and everybody should we do it is a witness? Yeah, absolutely everybody would you like? And I guess we have to decide, yeah, what kind of witness who want to be a witness for God, exactly, exactly exactly. We

can’t get away from it. We’re a witness. Every one of us, every Christian, if you’re known as a Christian, you’re a witness. And

Walt Kallestad 02:07

what they look at is, do I want your life? And many people say, I don’t want that life. If that’s what a Christian is all about, I don’t want that life. And we need to reflect the life of Christ.
