In this podcast, I interview friends of mine about their life-long journeys of pursuing God and God's relentless pursuit of them. All of my guests have authentic, dynamic relationships with God and have had life-changing encounters with Him. We go deep into the details of what their lives were like before encountering God, how exactly God drew them into a personal relationship with Him, what the key turning points were in their spiritual journey, and what transformations have taken place in their lives as a result of knowing God.
Lastly, if you enjoyed the intro and outro music written by my friend Brandon Rodriguez, you could download the entire song and many other worship songs for free at www.pihop.com/albums/worthyofitall and you could find more of Brandon's music at soundcloud.com/sumtngbeautifil

Raised in organized crime, drugs, alcoholism, and street racing, he encountered Christ through the persistent witness of an old friend and a praying mother: Russell Wood's Testimony
Russell's dad spent most of Russell's life in prison and when he did get out he spent most of his time involved in crime or physically abusing his family. Russell was raised by his alcoholic mother who later became an independent fundamentalist Baptist and by the men who were a part of his dad's gang. He naturally began working with his dad's friend by selling drugs and eventually got into street racing. Looking for a way out, he joined the Army, became a ranger, and served for 8 years. During his time in the reserves, an old friend showed up and began sharing with him about Jesus. That's when everything began to change.

Drug dealer and addict gets saved in rehab after serving multiple jail sentences: The testimony of Josh MacDonald
Josh was raised in a divorced agnostic household, but his father encountered God when he was 10. Nevertheless, he went down a path of drug addiction, drug dealing, popularity in the party scene, and multiple jail sentences that eventually landed him in a one year mandatory rehab. He stubbornly resisted God for most of the time in rehab, but after many months of being loved by people and God he surrendered his life to Jesus.
