From Brokenness to Belonging

He grew up with a lisp, buck teeth, and a home filled with more dysfunction than affection. By age four, his father was gone. By ten, his family was split. Shame, insecurity, and survival shaped his childhood—but somewhere beneath it all was a longing for something better.

In this powerful testimony, one man shares how a quiet hunger for truth led him from beer-soaked barrooms and broken relationships to a Spirit-filled altar and a brand-new identity. Through military service, marriage struggles, fatherhood, and a terrifying health scare with his newborn granddaughter, we witness God’s hand at work—restoring what was lost and rewriting what was broken.

This is a story about finding your voice… finding your family… and finding freedom in Jesus. A story that reminds us: when God delivers, He doesn’t do it halfway. He makes all things new.
