Pastor Sessions: Dr. Jon Anderson, Grace Immanuel Bible Church, and The Expositors Seminary
Dr. Jon Anderson shares his heart on discipleship and other topics. We caught up at a youth summer camp where Jon was the guest speaker. We recorded the interview in an empty chapel (hence the echo from time to time!) I am sure that you will be blessed by the wisdom of Dr. Jon Anderson.
