There are some men that come into your life that leave a long and lasting positive impression. There are some men that stand tall, they believe stong, and walk the path less traveled with conviction and passion; these are the men we point out to our sons as good roll models. Todd Atkinson is one one those men. Todd is not perfect, but then again, who of us is ?
My impression of Todd Atkinson is that he is a man who craves solitude and prefers to walk a quiet humble path, but due to natural or God given gifting, he's felt compelled to be in the spotlight and lead.
In this Episode, Todd shares about his conversion story to Christianity, how his faith has taken he and his family to serve in places like the Isle of Skye In Scotland, the UK, and all over Canada. We talk about his journey from evangelical charismatic Christianity to becoming a bishop and much more.
Todd also opens up and shares for the first time publicly about his recent devastating and humiliating public shaming from the Anglican church. This topic is still raw for Todd and I want to commend him for his vulnerably and and openness to share .
NOTE : You should know that If you research Todd Atkinson you'll more than likely find a lot of dirt and slander on him, so before you cast judgment, please listen to this conversation with an open heart and from there, maybe make your judgment.
This conversation was triggering for me as i have walked the same path more than once, there is alot i want say in defense of my friend Todd but also feel i should let the conversation speak for itself.
A wise man once said " he who is without sin cast the first stone"!
Please listen without prejudice.
NOTE from Todd
"If you would like to connect/talk, I would be more than happy to. Please contact Jobie and he'll give you my contact information."
