Redemptive Phone Repair

Recently, I had broken my “beloved” iPhone 8… After 5 years, it finally bit the bullet. Before going to the T-Mobile store, I wanted to take it to a repair shop to see if there was anything to fix it so I didn’t have to buy a new one. My wife and I ended up going to this little repair shop right in the middle of Slippery Rock. It was a very tiny shop that was covered in all kinds of different signs. These signs, ranged from ironic tech signs, anti-covid signs, to faithful signs. It was not long before the owner struck up a conversation with us as he was working on my phone. He asked where we were from and we said Grove City, which lead to the question of did we go to school there, which lead to why we chose it. After explaining to him that we chose it because of its faithful principles, the conversation got much deeper. He began to explain his life journey and how faith has always been deeply rooted in it. He told us that he has never been afraid to talk to his customers about faith and that more times than not, he straight up asks them if they believe in Jesus. He was extremely open in his faith and explaining it to everyone who walked through his door. With all this, he was also very good at what he does. Unfortunately for me, after taking my phone apart and testing it several times, he told me that my motherboard was fried so I ended up going to T-Mobile to get a new phone anyway.
