I like how I think and feel about God when I listen to him and follow his advice and I find his sermons inspirational and helpful for my maintaining a thankful conversation with my Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
I think his very unlikely rise to such prominence after his father's death seems to be yet another example of God raising the least among us as an example of His Power, Grace and Glory.
I am fascinated by his critics' reactions to him and also by his reactions to them.
So do I and have been doing so for years. I find his messages uplifting. For the poster above who says only old women with blue hair watch him, I do not fit that category. Although I will be 65 on March 2, I have never dyed my hair - except for an occasional hi-lite - and I was much younger when I first started watching him.
It was actually my teenage twin daughters who introduced me to Joel many years ago. They said that they did not need to go to Sunday School anymore because they watched "Joel" on Sunday nights. Since I did not know who this Joel was, I started watching him and have been ever since! The girls and I even went to see him in person when he came to Raleigh, NC, in 2006. It was a wonderful service with great singing and a good message from Joel.
Mrs Submareener and I listen to Joel every week for encouragement. Charley Garrett, Alan Horvath, Damian Kyle, and JD are great for Bible Study and prophecy updates, but Joel provides the encouragement that we need in these troubled times.
