What happens when we surrender everything to God—even when we feel unworthy, broken, or afraid? In this moving and soul-stirring episode, Jeffrey McDonnell sits down with poet, author, musician, and veteran Ron Montgomery for a deep conversation about healing from trauma through divine support.
Ron shares his story of military service, spiritual awakening, and facing the dark night of the soul—when a simple moment of divine grace changed the course of his life forever.
Together, they explore:
✨ The power of surrender and what it means to truly let go
✨ Hearing the voice of God in the midst of despair
✨ Healing emotional wounds, broken relationships, and even cancer through faith
✨ How Ron’s poetry, activism, and love became instruments of healing—for himself and his community
✨ The journey of learning to love yourself the way God loves you
If you’ve ever struggled to find light in the darkness, Ron’s honesty, wisdom, and warmth will meet you right where you are. His story is proof that no matter how far we fall, God is always there—calling us back to love.
