Don't miss ONE BROKEN LIFE PODCAST!

This month, John Stroup sits down with Greg Hartman to hear his powerful testimony. Greg’s story begins with a childhood marked by instability—constantly moving, never putting down roots, and growing up with a father who was good but not present. He started smoking pot at 15 and spent years in dysfunctional relationships, searching for meaning. Today, Greg is a transformed man—a faithful church member, holding down a steady job, and patiently waiting to see where God leads him next.

Reading through Pslams 1 this morning. The Bible describes the man blessed man in Psalms 1. The blessed man is marked more by what he does not do than what he does here in the Psalm, but what is interesting to me is verse 3. Notice the tree is transplanted by the water! It did not start out there, but by following God, rejecting the wrong crowd, and the wrong counsel the blessed man was put in the perfect place to GROW!

NUGGET FOR THE DAY!
If you keep doing the next right thing, God will plant you in the perfect place to grow, and bear fruit. What out who you listen to, walk with, and meditate on!

“He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” (Psalm 1:3, ESV)

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:18–20, ESV)

This is a super cool testimony from Justin Miller. Take some time to listen to this podcast. You will for sure be encouraged! We are so proud of Justin, The Timothy Project Graduate and Director of Freeway Mountain View!

In this episode of ONE BROKEN LIFE, John Stroup talks with Justin Miller. Justin grew up in a hard working family home where the motto was “whoever dies with the most toys wins!” His parents worked hard, but alcohol was always easily accessible. He started drinking young and quickly moved to drugs. He entered rehab for the first time at the age of 19. He stole from everyone; the drug dealers and his own family. Listen to his incredible story of redemption to find out how he went from 5 times in prison to riding in a church van with the church ladies that showed him the love of Christ.

This month's podcast is such an incredible testimony of how God pursues and redeems us from ourselves. John stroup speaks with Brad Denney this month. Brad believed he was untouchable--until he wasn't. In a moment his world came crashing down. His incredible story takes you through how he put in the hard work to change his life. His goal was to be able to get clean so he could walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding. He's now serving in ministry at Freeway Gibsontown in Tennessee. Listen and be encouraged!!
