Episode 8, where we talk about the next generation.

When I first moved to the States, the hardest things to do for me was worship because I was surrounded with English, you know, worship.

And my friend used to take me to this Presbyterian church and we would do hymns.

And it was really hard, but I learned to focus because I came from like a Pentecostal kind of church where everybody's yelling and screaming and all of that.

But because of that season where I didn't have what I would have wanted, I got to experience listening to the lyrics and this quiet kind of, you know, way of worshiping the Lord.

So I really do love hymns.

Like in the mornings, I love listening to hymns as I'm praying and getting ready.

Mm-hmm

I would love for you to introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about yourself, including, and I'll get into this in a little while, how do you pronounce your name?

Okay, sounds good.

So my name is Megdes Hadis, and Megdes means temple of God.

I like to tell people in Ethiopia, our parents kind of give us a prophetic name, a name that they want us to live up to.

So I have a big name to tell.

Thank God for, you know, salvation in Christ.

And, yeah, so I'm originally from Ethiopia.

So I'm wondering if you would take time to explain, introduce and explain the concept to those who may be listening to this podcast.
