Justin's journey is a testament to the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ and God's mercy.

As a preacher's kid, he grew up with the weight of expectations and a deep connection to his faith. His story took a surprising turn when he became the youngest senior pastor in the state of Kansas, ordained as a minister of the Gospel. Many called him "The Prince of Preachers".

However, life threw its inevitable curveballs, leading him down a tumultuous path filled with ups and downs. Due to a series of unfortunate decisions made by Justin and some poor choices made by his business partners at the time, Justin experienced devastating losses. This period of his life led to the dissolution of his marriage, estrangement from his family, the forfeiture of his home and business, and a profound sense of personal turmoil that he described as "virtually losing my sanity." Throughout this challenging journey, Justin grappled with overwhelming thoughts of suicide, desperately seeking solace through various means, including therapy, substance use, relationships, friendships, and the pursuit of unhealthy success. However, none of these things offered Justin peace from his inner struggles.

It was in his darkest hour, in his 30s, when he reached a turning point. Justin, sick and abusing drugs and alcohol as a means of escape, contemplating stealing to survive, humbly prayed, "Holy Spirit, please don't stop pulling on my heart. I'll be ready someday."

In a divine response to his heartfelt plea, God honored Justin's prayer. One night Justin stopped running from that pulling feeling in his heart. He cried out to Jesus a different prayer... "Lord forgive me... save me. I need you. I can't do this life anymore my way. If you'll have me Jesus... change me, Jesus."

With Jesus' help, Justin soon emerged from the depths of despair. He not only made his peace with GOD through Jesus Christ, but Justin became a new person. Justin understands what it means to be 'born-again'. Clean from a past he couldn't live with. (SEE THE LINK BELOW to learn what it means to be Born Again)

Since then, Justin has worked to follow Jesus every day. Never perfectly. As a testament of how good Jesus is, today Justin stands as a happily married man to Angela his wife, and he is a successful real estate investor and business startup coach. He no longer claims the role of pastor or otherwise. He's not a prince among preachers, rather a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. His life is a living testament to the transformative power of faith and the indomitable love of Jesus Christ. He not only loves Jesus but also dedicates his life to spreading the message of hope and salvation that he discovered in his own darkest hour. Jesus is real. Jesus does save souls. Justin's whole life is proof. Justin would love it if you met Jesus just like he did. That's not a commitment to a church, cult, group, or anything... it's you. It's Jesus. That's it.

Justin's daily devotion to reading his Bible and unwavering commitment to prayer are the cornerstones of his renewed faith. He credits Jesus and his born-again experience for the massive change in his life. More than anything, Justin's heart's desire is to share the same transformative encounter with Jesus that he found in his darkest hour with others. His story serves as an inspiring example of redemption and the boundless love of God.

What is your story with Jesus? Pray the first prayer, or the next prayer. It starts now. He's listening. Amen.
