“Why you always smiling?” The Testimony of Julius Twohearts (Sisseton Wahpeton Sioux)

Julius Twohearts – Sisseton Wahpeton Sioux: Julius grew up on the Spirit Lake reservation in northeastern North Dakota.  From his youth, his life was a toxic mixture of anger and alcohol.  He eventually went to prison for attacking a police officer – sending him to the hospital.  Years later, while Julius was drinking under a bridge, a stranger came and told him about Jesus.  After that it seemed no matter where he went people would talk to him about Jesus.  Slowly, his hard heart began to soften… and he opened it to the Lord.  It’s been a long and painful journey, but today, Julius is known for his smile.  As you listen to him share, you’ll actually hear him smiling.  Find out why… maybe you’ll smile too.
