Episode notes
Call To Ministry At A Funeral
- Jean-Sébastien Morin felt a Holy Spirit-led assurance when he read Scripture at his great-grandmother's funeral at 16.
- That moment redirected him from plans for engineering or law into 25 years of pastoral ministry in Quebec.
Conversion Through Family Love
- Samuel Plante left his family's faith as a teen and lived rebelliously before returning to Christ at 16 through his mother's love.
- That conversion changed his behavior and launched him into Bible school and long-term ministry.
Quebec's Village-Scale Identity
- Quebec behaves like a large village with strong local identity and paradoxical culture blending French and U.S. influences.
- That identity often makes Quebecers see themselves as a distinct nation rather than just a Canadian province.
