Palin's Childhood Pastor: "She Wanted to Serve God and Memorize Verses in the Bible"
In an exclusive interview with CBN News, Sarah Palin's former pastor Paul Riley and his wife Helen sit down and talk The Brody File in Wasilla, Alaska.
Reverend Riley was the one who baptized Sarah Palin when she was twelve years old. He was her main pastor when she was growing up in Wasilla. When she became Governor, she even named a street after him in Wasilla.
Watch above as he and his wife talk about how she wants to serve God. Part transcription below:
“When she was a little younger, she was a little fidgety, but as she began to hear the music and began to hear the different illustrations given, it seemed to attract her and she was more motivated to respond and I think that drew her to the final commitment of stepping out and saying I want to be that kind of person. She did make a commitment and with all of her heart she began to serve God and began to memorize versus in the Bible and she associated with young people in the church and those same young people were in the school.”
The Riley's will be part of my in depth profile on Sarah Palin that will air nationally on The 700 Club Friday.
