    S1E18: Pastor George Crisp

    A 41-year-old addict, 120 pounds, on a five-day run, hears a voice over his shoulder in a bathroom at 3 a.m.: "You are dying." He has never been in church. What happens next built a ministry that has fed the homeless every Saturday for over two decades. Pastor George Crisp sits down with host Rebecca Wooten, a longtime friend and ministry partner, to tell the story. George was a gifted kicker with a scholarship to the University of Houston and a dream of going pro. He lost it all over a ten-dollar bag of weed. Drug dealing, a federal probation, three years in prison, a divorce and years of addiction followed. Then came a desperate prayer on his apartment floor and a clean start he says has never been broken.George shares: The nurse who told him, "You may be sober and clean, but you don't have a spiritual bone in your body," and the final days with his mother that changed himTwo altar calls, a pushy woman in the pew, and a Native American roofer named Buzz who spent months telling him God loved himHow a freezing morning under the Seventh Street bridge in Austin grew into 16 years of Saturday services without a miss, with praise bands, hot meals, clothes and jobs for the people thereThe police officer who threatened to run his team off, then handed over a parking lot and a cell numberA six-year-old's baptism and what she said to her dad afterward: "That's where Jesus is"You'll also hear about the trips to the Mexican border every three months for 17 years, including four tons of rice and beans per trip for the last eight. George explains why barbecue changed the way his team feeds people, and why he believes safe sleep, good food, clothing, shelter and a job to do can ease so much of the mental health struggle on the street. He tells how a Texas recovery church, where AA and NA people worship side by side, came together. Along the way he also shares what he has learned about veterans who don't trust easily, and about keeping a "hand length away" so that helping doesn't become enabling.If you are beating yourself up over your past, or wondering whether your mission is over, this conversation speaks to you directly. George is blunt about being the biggest sinner in the room, and just as clear that God is not mad at you. Rebecca and George close with a prayer and a challenge to let your dreams be bigger than your memories. Perfect for anyone in recovery, anyone who serves, and anyone who needs to hear that a prayer not prayed is a prayer not answered. bridgeofangels.org | (512) 633-7439
