From Darkness to Forgiveness and Restoration - Julian's Story

***PODCAST CONTAINS TESTIMONY THAT MAY IMPACT SENSITIVE LISTENERS***

This is the riveting testimony and dramatic journey of a talented young man who experienced mental illness at school which developed into full schizophrenia at university and took his life in a downward spiral on a very dark journey. Culminating in a tragic event and resulting in his arrest and committal to Valkenburg Psychiatric Hospital, Julian Goldswain's life appeared to be over, facing a future as a state mental patient. He was told by doctors that he would never be healed, get married, have children or work again. But God had other ideas and a journey of restoration changed him radically leading to the complete healing of his mental illness and coming off all medication. This transformation was likened by doctors to the mental equivalent of a paraplegic rising from a wheelchair and walking again. Julian and his wife Chantelle are on eldership with the JoshGen Muizenberg congregation and do life together with their two teenage boys Thorin and Gabe.
