  1. Spirit, Scribe, Journey

    Jun 4

    Spirit, Scribe, Journey

    There are moments when a man’s testimony doesn’t whisper… it thunders.In this powerful episode of Christian Authors with Marilyn Jeanne Designs Podcast, we sit down with a born-again believer (June 6th, 1975) whose life has been marked by decades of ministry, prison outreach in Kentucky, worship through guitar, and a shepherd’s heart that refuses to be silent. Since 1984, his hands have been in the work of the Kingdom—teaching, leading, writing, and calling God’s people back to the reality that “God is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6, KJV).This conversation is not polished religion...it is lived obedience.From his Spirit, The Scribe, The Journey (Volumes 1–3) to I Remember, I Prayed, his written works carry one burning message: God is not distant. He is active, present, and deeply involved in the lives of those who pursue Him. Whether behind prison walls or within small groups, his mission remains unshaken...empowering believers to become who God created them to be through the fullness of the Holy Spirit.His ministry, B4eternity, exists to see the manifestation of the Spirit in the body of Christ...awakening gifts, igniting faith, and restoring prayer as a lifestyle rather than a last resort.As he boldly declares in this episode: God is real, and you can know Him.This is not just an interview. It is a call to return to prayer, to surrender, and to walk in the authority of Christ without compromise.Explore his written works and ministry here:https://b4eternity.com/amazon-products/?utm_source=chatgpt.comLearn more about B4eternity and their Kingdom work:https://b4eternity.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.comIf you are weary of surface-level faith and hungry for a deeper walk with God, this episode will challenge you, confront you, and draw you back to the altar where real transformation begins.
