FULL EPISODE: https://takingthelandpodcast.com In this powerful Testimony Tuesday episode of Taking the Land, Pastor Adam Dragoon sits down with Evangelist Leighton Ainsworth to unpack a raw, honest journey of salvation, discipleship, marriage, and calling.

    He Hit Rock Bottom at 24. God Rebuilt Everything. Pastor Uriel Servin Jr. | TESTIMONY TUESDAY

    Summary Pastor Uriel Servin Jr. should not be alive. By 24 he was homeless, sleeping in his car, watching his life collapse under the weight of broken family history, addiction, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Then one desperate prayer changed everything. In this Testimony Tuesday conversation, Pastor Uriel tells the full story of how Christ rescued him, rebuilt him, discipled him, gave him a family, launched him into ministry, and even helped him write a book called Turning Trials Into Triumph. If you have ever felt like your past defines you, listen closely. His story proves that God writes better endings than we do.
