I first heard Marvin Phillips preach at the Tulsa Workshop in 1996. I was there with a friend, both of us from Christian Churches, and had never been around Church of Christ folks before. Though I found some of what brother Phillips said a bit odd, his excitement about being a Christian was practically contagious.

Thanks for starting this series and getting other people into it. I’ve posted a little something on this topic over at my MySpace blog: http://is.gd/9IbKh

Marvin is one of my mentors also. I meet him in 1979 when I first came to the Tulsa workshop. I lived in Ft. Smith at the time and got him to help us raise the beginning funds for Metro Christian School.

You have so many buttons. I enjoy the workshop. I often think I missed some of the best years. It is something I have only recently been able to attend.

How could you attend the Tulsa Workshop and not love Marvin! He is one of my favorite speakers…. ever!

I have really enjoyed reading your 1-4 posts on “Passing the Torch”, (sorry I didn’t comment on each one separately). This has been such a great idea and very well received.

It has produced a great deal of reflecting which made me see even more of God’s grace coming through the people who loved and taught me. 1 Peter 4:10-11 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.

In my post and other writers, honor was given to some who have died, and others who are still with us. I am determined to let those in my life know now how much they mean to me and how they have encouraged me.

Thank you again John!
