Call Me Daddy

Most people have prayed the Our Father at some point. A funeral, a wedding, a hard night. You said the words even if you weren't sure anyone was listening, and then you got up and went back to your life feeling about the same as before.

I'm going to show you why those words don't do anything until you're actually in the family, and what it looks like to go from saying a formal prayer to talking to God like he's your dad. I'll walk you through what a real father is supposed to be, and why so many of us have a hard time believing God could be one.

If you've ever said the words but never felt like anyone was on the other end, stay with me on this one.

About Richard Ellis

Authentic... Genuine... Sincere... This guy is the real deal. He loves God. He loves his wife Rebecca and his 3 daughters. He loves people. He loves his job. He loves Texas BBQ. He loves an occasional round of golf. And he loves the Dallas Cowboys (but don’t hold that against him!).

Richard grew up as a missionary kid in Brazil, coming back to the states to ﬁnish his education. He graduated from Baylor University in 1982 with a BA in Oral Communications, and earned his MDIV in 1985 from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, making him the sixth generation of pastors in his family. His early days of ministry included serving for three years as the Single Adults Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Dallas.

Then in 1997, Richard Ellis founded Reunion Church, a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, non-denominational church in the heart of Dallas,Texas. Dallas needed a church like it. And it would need a pastor like Richard. So Reunion Church was born. And now the radio show and the website (www.RichardEllisTalks.com) join the Reunion Church community under the leadership of this guy. And we’re all the better for it!
