Show Notes

Have you heard the story about the Christian who gave a eulogy at a funeral, then immediately died after he finished? 

But what makes this story even more amazing, is the words he said right before he suddenly passed away.

In this episode of Abiding Free, host Kristin Nave interviews a special guest, Jon Gerlach, who shares a deeply moving and inspiring story about his father's life and passing. Jon's father, Stan Gerlach, was a devout Christian who lived a life dedicated to serving and sharing the gospel. The story takes a surprising turn when Stan collapses and passes away immediately after delivering a eulogy at a funeral. Despite the tragic circumstances, Jon reflects on the profound impact of his father's life and final moments, and how it has touched millions of lives, leading many to faith and redemption. 

Join us as we delve into this powerful testimony of a life lived in devotion to Christ and the enduring ripple effect of one man's triumph in tragedy.
