encounter at planet fitness

Today I had an amazing experience at Planet Fitness. A guy had a sweatshirt that I couldn't read, so I asked him what it said. It was his name Austin, spelled Aus10. He makes different kinds of shirts, so I asked him if he had an Instagram account where I could see his other designs, but he said he deactivated his account because he doesn't really like social media. I said, I don't really like it either, but I use it for my ministry. He inquired into my ministry and so I told him I make videos about the Bible and post them to YouTube. I told him the next video will be talking about the right Jesus. I told him it makes me sad that people reject Jesus because they have the wrong idea about Jesus. He says, what does Jesus mean to you? I said, the way he treats people. I said like you, you're a different color than me, but I don't care. Jesus loves everyone, no matter what race, poor or background. That's how I want to be! He said that's good. We talked about how important it is to read the Bible. He asked me do I go to church on Saturday or Sunday? Well, services are on Sunday, I said, but I believe the Sabbath is Saturday. He said the Roman Catholic Church influenced a lot of things. I'm trying to remember. He said something about somebody worshipped the sun god and I think he said the Catholics, but not sure, they lumped everything together. 
He said, the Bible talks about we're not supposed to have pork or sea creatures with scales and they don't do anything for our bodies anyway. ( As I recall, this is the Jewish belief, and we're not under Jewish law, but I didn't say this.)
This is all I remember right now. 
Oh, we also talked about how important it is to read the Bible, because otherwise the pastor could tell you anything and you wouldn't know any different.
