Alive! with Larry Smith | Hearing God in a Hospital Bed

First Church Oviedo Season 3 Episode 5

Larry Smith is a family man, a leader in his church, and the Owner of a successful Chick-fil-A Franchise in Orlando. A few months ago, Larry was hospitalized with a critical illness. While in the hospital, he heard God’s voice telling him to let go of all of life’s distractions. That changed Larry's life completely.  Since that day Larry is more passionate than ever about serving God and listening for God’s direction. Although he lost 28 pounds in 3 days, and had three major surgeries in a very brief period of time, Larry wouldn’t change a thing because his time of suffering brought him closer to God.
