What does real transformation look like when God breaks the old life apart and rebuilds you from the inside out? Walter sits down with DeAndre Mackey for a powerful conversation about faith, identity, and the uncomfortable middle ground between who you were and who God is shaping you to become. DeAndre opens up about losing a high-paying job, rebuilding after major life setbacks, and realizing that change is not instant - it is a process of surrender, pruning, and trust. From becoming a husband and father to learning how to walk by faith instead of impulse, he shares how God used hard seasons, aggressive prayers, and even unexpected delays to reshape his mindset and direction. You will discover: Why John 3, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and Romans 12:1-2 completely reframed DeAndre’s understanding of salvationHow the “potter and clay” picture helped him make sense of breaking, seclusion, and rebuildingWhy patience is often taught through pressure, not comfortHow prayer, discernment, and accountability changed the way he approached work, relationships, and temptationWhat it means to be rooted in God instead of being pulled by culture, fear, or other people’s opinionsWalter keeps the conversation grounded in Scripture while connecting DeAndre’s testimony to the bigger picture of Christian growth - the kind that leads to a renewed mind, a different life, and fruit that points people back to Christ.
