A Joy-Full Life

Paul wrote to the men of his small group,

Before I knew everyone in this group, I was trapped inside a cage that Satan had locked me in because I believed the lies he led me to believe. You all have helped me see my life as it really was.

You created a safe place for me to be honest and vulnerable. I was alone, lonely and hopeless dwelling on my past.

God made us to be part of a community for this very reason that applies to all of us:

“A man who isolates himself seeks his own desires; he rages against all wise judgment.” — Proverbs 18:1.

This verse describes exactly where I was. God placed me in this group of wise men who brought the keys to my jail cell, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, set me free!

It has been amazing to see God’s work in all of you: healed marriages and strength to resist temptations of the flesh and live a holy life as God commands us in 1 Peter 1:15.

“(B)ut as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct”.

There is so much joy in my life now; my life is not only full, but joy-full. This joy is only a taste of what waits for us in eternity. Thank you all for allowing me to be a part of your lives and being a part of the greatest spiritual growth spurt of my Christian life. I love you all so much!

Being a part of The Redeemed became so much more than just attending a group—it became a reminder of God’s design for community. It strengthened my walk with Christ, and I’m grateful for the men who were there with me. It was a great experience, and I look forward to continuing this journey together outside of our group.

I knew about Christ at a young age, but I walked away from my faith and started taking pills to escape all my pain. It didn’t take long for me to realize that if I took more than what the doctor prescribed, it felt good and let me escape even more from the hurt I was going through. The older I got, the more I needed an escape. I don’t even remember my first wedding because I was so high. My addiction continued to grow until I was using heroin, coke, and pills all at once. Then I got addicted to fentanyl and lost my second marriage. Finally, God met me at a faith-based rehab center. Today I’m 3-years clean, sober, and married to a wonderful woman. My relationship with God is the closest it has ever been. I even have my minister’s license. It feels like I found the greatest life you could ever imagine. God didn’t allow me to die when I was using drugs. He has a plan for our lives and it’s greater than our own.

Psalm 107:2

Let the redeemed tell their story…

For those feeling depressed, hopeless, or “broken,” few things are more encouraging or inspirational than the uplifting stories of people who have found redemption themselves. Your story of redemption could help set another hurting individual on the road to hope restored.
