Meet your new Pastor of Canon Point Church in Salem, OR! 🙏 In this powerful episode of Conversations with Buddy, I sat down with Jason Bunse to talk about a journey that only God could write. From designer drugs, alcohol, and running hard in the wrong direction… to standing behind a pulpit preaching the Gospel — Jason’s story is a testimony to the timing and fatherhood of God. What looked like chaos was actually divine pursuit. God wasn’t absent. He was patient. Jason shared the turning point — “I got caught.” The boys in blue. The moment where everything felt like it was over. Broken. Helpless. Chin checked by reality. But what felt like the end became the beginning. In that place of weakness, he picked up the Bible and started reading the Gospels. And when he encountered the words of Jesus — “Neither do I condemn you” — everything changed. We talked about discipleship, counting the cost, picking your friends wisely, and learning to hear the still small voice of God. Jason didn’t just have a moment; he had a transformation. From skid row to studying the Book of Acts. From coping with alcohol to carrying the name of Jesus. From overachiever in the streets to surrendered servant of Christ. The full counsel of God! This episode is a reminder that God is not done with you. He leaves the 99. He redeems the time. He answers prayers. And when He calls you to walk as a man and carry His name, it becomes a badge of honor. If you’ve ever thought, “It’s over,” this conversation will remind you — with God, it’s just getting started. Always point to Jesus! 🙏 Click here and connect with Pastor Jason: https://www.canonpointchurch.com 503-308-9474info@canonpointchurch.com #JesusFollower #Discipleship #Salvation #pastor #CanonPointChurch #ConversationsWithBuddy 🎙️ _ _ _ For more stories like this, go to: https://www.youtube.com/@BuddyJamesPuckett If you or someone you know want to be on the podcast, please reach out to me on Instagram @conversationswithbuddy or text me at 503-851-8031. _ _ _ About Buddy Puckett:Buddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and mentoring men for over 25 years.
