"Even in just one fire, one evening, to listen to God, men wrestling with God ... It's a feast all in itself", he adds. 'This is primarily for you,' said his friend and fellow preacher Brian Poynter. "'God's doing something really great' -- what comes up? Can you hear me give that kind of framework?"
