Transcription (Omeka Classic)
Interviewee 00:00
I would say I am by book Christian. But for me, I think I would consider myself having a strong relationship with God rather than being committed to the religion of Christianity. But yeah, this pandemic has definitely risen the talk of God coming, or the end. This stuff kind of tends to usually freak people out but I've done, or at least attempted to, become more prepared for His coming spiritually as well as the outcomes that can come with this. This, if anything, has made me feel more at ease with the negative possibilities that I may encounter because I think, if I go through a hard time, I know it’s out of His doing and I must trust that. The church hasn't been holding services. Our pastor is actually going live on Facebook every Sunday morning. He's also making videos about weekly Bible verses and fun things like that. Our church is very active on Facebook, so it's a nice substitute for right now. Our church is actually taking in food cans and non-perishables to donate to local food banks that may help families that are struggling right now. It's difficult given all the social distancing rules but we're doing our best.
