Dearest Rev Fisk. My wife Karen passed away Friday, a week ago. She was ill for the last 8 years and bed ridden for the last 3 years. She died peacefully, not in hospital, but in her own bed, with me, my son, my daughter, her mother, two of her sisters, and our two remaining dogs in the room, listening to 8 hours of Matt Boswell hymns playing in the background. We had communion as a family after dinner that evening before she slipped into a coma. It was truly a blessed death. We were married for 27 years. I have been following and listening to you since the early youtube Ninja days, Along with the Christian pirate and The God Whisperers. You have been instrumental in preaching to me, the one true faith and have helped me to patiently preach salvation to my wife and see my main prayer answered, which was that she would come back to trusting that her Father in heaven does indeed love her after we were badly burned and spat out by the church growth movement almost 24 years ago. Watching how you and Meridith interact on the podcast has modeled to me what a godly husband and father is supposed to be. No matter the future, I am forever grateful to you.

Alleluia. There is no higher praise than to hear of the lost sheep coming home! And, indeed, a death in Christ is most blessed. He will surely sustain you all the more in this new season.

Please don't get discouraged. I know sometimes I'm speechless. It's mostly because I takes me longer to process all that richness.

Alleluia. Jesus Christ gives, and Jesus Christ takes away. Blessed be the Name of Jesus Christ!

Your words mean more to me than you can know. When Moses arms were falling, it was those around him who carried the day with their trust.

I enjoyed hearing your sermon yesterday, and I followed along with my Bible as you spoke what the scripture said. Jesus Christ has risen indeed, Alleluia and Amen. All thanks glory and honor be to God. Amen. God's peace be with you. Amen. You are not alone. Remember you are loved. Acts 5:29 " We ought to obey God rather than men."

It is good to be an inheritor! It is good to not be alone. Thank you Jeff for your diligent support of me in word and deed.

I enjoy hearing you explain the scriptures in the bible, I listen closely so that I can understand what is being taught. Keep up the good work. God's peace be with you. All glory be to God. Amen.

I want to thank you for the hard work you do. I am praying for you and your family. Please know that as I have been brought to the one true faith, your teachings have been so valuable.

With everything you share and your openness to comfort the Body of Christ, you are helping me to heal within my marriage. This has been a very hard season but I am encouraged by seeing all the God is doing through your work.

Please don't be discouraged. Keep going and know that you have brothers and sisters faithfully praying for your family.

❤️🙏

Hello RevFisk. Thanks for the Saved episode on Sunday. My two year old and I listened to it while on the playground Sunday after church. It was a true joy and delight to learn so much about God's Word from you along with the comfort of the Gospel.
