In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Bob Fox. As a young Catholic boy whose father served in the army and was frequently out of the country, Bob felt the deep void of an absent parent. Everything shifted at age eight when he opened his heart to one of his school nuns, telling her how much he missed his father. In that tender moment, the nun shared a truth that completely surprised him: God was a Father who would never leave him. That simple revelation ignited a personal relationship with God. Now at nearly eighty years old, Bob reflects on nearly eight decades of walking in the tangible grace and love of Jesus Christ. He candidly shares his gratitude for God's unshakeable presence, recognizing that everything he is today comes by the grace of God. If you have ever experienced longing for a father's love or sought to understand the enduring grace of God across a lifetime, Bob Fox's testimony will comfort and inspire your heart!
Guest's Bio
Born in Scotland, a dual citizen, British and American. Grew up without my parents for 10 years. Raised by relatives. Had a Life-changing encounter with God the Father at age 8 because I was seeking a safe source of love.
My relationship with God the Father is the foundation of my life. I love Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who have made that relationship possible.
I became a jet pilot with the Marines during the Vietnam War, and after that, a protestant pastor for 35 years.
I have been married for 57 years to Beth. We have four children who all love the Lord with all their hearts, and 13 grandchildren who are in the process of getting saved.
I'm retired now at age 79. I've written a couple of books about the Jamestown colony to encourage the church in our region and in America to confess the end of our Christian forefathers in the colony, so God will remember the land according to the promise of Leviticus 26:39-42. The first book is a history book, and the second book is a novel based on that.
The first book is called Healing America's Soul; the second book is called Angel 24.
I'm writing a sequel to Angel 24 in which God uses Islamic jihadists to awaken the sleeping giant of the American church to repentance and holiness, leading to a great national awakening that alone can heal America.
Besides writing books and serving as a communicator to the regional church, I am a chaplain with the local police force.
