In this episode of Unwritten, host Trevor Bara sits down with Justin Victor to hear his powerful testimony of how God continually sent "lifeguards" to rescue him from "drowning" in various challenges throughout his life, from childhood peril to adult struggles with sin, career, and unforgiveness.
Whether you've faced overwhelming odds, felt lost in the depths of your own choices, or simply need a reminder of God's ever-present saving power and subtle promptings, this conversation will offer encouragement and a jolt of belief in God's call to pick up the pieces of our broken selves.
What You’ll Hear:
- Justin’s miraculous near-drowning experience at age six, when his godfather was divinely prompted to save him.
- How he was saved from "drowning in sin from the inside" as a young adult through faithful friends, daily prayer, and the sacrament of confession.
- His journey from feeling "empty" and "mundane" in his dream career to finding deeper satisfaction and peace as a youth missionary with NET Ministries.
- The powerful realization that God not only sends "lifeguards" but also calls us to be "lifeguards for others".
- Justin's experience of God providing his wife as a "lifeguard" in marriage, and finding "deep healing" from unforgiveness through God's "ocean of mercy" in confession.
