Kicking Back with KP Westmoreland (Part 2)

Part 2 of my conversation with KP Westmoreland
He is a husband, father, motivational speaker, author and former mayor of Bethany, OK. KP Westmoreland has spent more than 25 years encouraging and motivating people to live in passionate pursuit of the life they dream of living.
People change - some radically. K.P. Westmoreland's change was radical - dark to light, rebellion to evangelistic passion. K.P. says from every fiber, "God changed me, He can change you."
Though being raised in the church, K.P. just "played the part" and still sought fulfillment and self-worth through the things the world had to offer. After many self-destructive years of drug and alcohol abuse and sexual immorality, K.P. realized that the only thing that would truly save him and give him worth was a personal relationship with Jesus Christ K.P.'s compelling delivery style reaches beyond color, class and generational barriers - people listen, and they respond.
