You may ask: What is a switchman? What does that even mean? switch·man — one who attends a railroad switch. God used a season of my life as a railroad worker to lead me into one of the greatest spiritual journeys I’ve ever experienced. When I knew nothing about railroad, I was given one key and taught how to line a switch—how to change the direction of something that carried value. That was the place God called me, and it’s where He began to use me to reach people exactly where they are.
