Dad Rod?
Throughout the years we've done the White Horse Inn, people have asked me why we called our distinguished Lutheran colleague, "Dad Rod." The answer is simple. Back in the old days, when we taped the White Horse Inn live on Sunday nights, we'd make Rod watch TBN when we got back to Mike Horton's house (the good stuff was replayed late at night). If Paul and Jan could have a "Daddy Hagin" then we felt like we needed a "Dad Rod."
One of the things we made Rod watch was a "Praise the Lord" snippet that Shane Rosenthal taped in which Ken Hagin introduced his "minister of laughter." She was a rather plain-Jane type who came out and led the congregation in "laughing in the Spirit." There are not words . . . Rod was undone watching it--perplexed, annoyed and giddy with laughter, all at the same time.
So, in honor of the good old days at the White Horse Inn, I give you this link (not the same program Shane had on tape, but close enough!). I'd love to watch this one with Rod (Click here: YouTube - Kenneth Hagin e a "Unção do Riso")

MMM
Actually, I really don't want to stop and ponder, why?
Do you suppose this sort of thing happens to the believers in the Chinese prisons? Or maybe they don't have enough "faith"?
Part of me wanted to laugh(I always laugh when people laugh, trying to fit in even if never understood what the joke is), this is just sad, they dont really know what they are doing.
I thought perhaps it was you guys complimenting him and respecting him as an older male influence; a spiritual father in the faith so to speak.
A Paul to Timothy type of relationship.
Guess I over estimated Kim, Mike and Ken!!!
