What I found in dad’s old jukebox (it's not what you think)

I used to feel self-conscious about talking about my faith until THIS amazing thing happened

Have you ever felt uncomfortable talking about your faith with other people? Maybe you tell yourself your religious beliefs are too heavy to discuss with friends or perhaps you feel you’ve been too much of a “sinner” to talk about your faith, or it could be you think people will think you’re trying to convert them on the spot if you mention your beliefs.
