What does obedience look like when God calls you to serve where it’s messy, real, and raw?
In this episode of Forge Podcast, Tom continues his story from Part 1, sharing powerful moments from the front lines of ministry at House of Refuge. From advocating for a brother in court to witnessing lives transformed by the gospel, his testimony reveals what happens when faith moves from belief to action.
Tom’s stories of compassion, perseverance, and simple obedience remind us that ministry isn’t confined to the walls of the church—it’s lived out in everyday moments of love and service. Whether it’s sharing Scripture, cooking a meal, or sitting at a table with men rebuilding their lives, God uses each act of faith to bring hope and healing.
Let this conversation inspire you to step forward in your own calling. The front lines of faith may look different for each of us, but every act of obedience builds the Kingdom.
