In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Pat Welsh from Colorado. Born in Dublin, Ireland, and placed in an orphanage at just three days old, Pat shares how reading the book of Jeremiah profoundly shifted his perspective, helping him realize God knew and consecrated him before he was even born. He recounts the pivotal moment his wife encouraged him to stop living up to other people's expectations and pursue his childhood dream, which led to a nearly 30-year career as a police officer and lawyer!
Listen in as Pat breaks down the difficult, daily struggle of true accountability, sharing how navigating "Job moments" and "Judas moments" forced him to focus on taking the log out of his own eye first. He also reveals his powerful acronym for love, Live Out Veritas Everyday and challenges believers to seek Jesus, who is the ultimate truth. If you need a reminder of your God-given purpose, Pat's life motto to "do the right thing at the right time, the right way, and for the right reasons" will deeply inspire your faith journey!
