Lonnie Potts is my favorite preacher. He played an instrumental role in my life as a young father, husband, and professional.
I'm thrilled to have him on the podcast today, to honor him, number one, but also to give you hope that when all seems lost...God gives a way forward.
Lonnie shares what it's like to experience crushing failure as a Christian, and to turn to God for redemption and healing.
Within a very short time, Lonnie lost both parents, his marriage, and the ministry he'd worked so hard to build.
But God is good, and failure does NOT define you.
