Life isn't always easy, and not every season is filled with mountaintop moments. Sometimes our greatest spiritual growth happens in the ordinary struggles—the burdens we carry, the trials we endure, and the moments we simply choose to trust God one day at a time.

In this encouraging episode of God Stories Radio, special guest Greg Brown shares how true joy isn't found in perfect circumstances but in the presence of Christ through every circumstance. Together, we explore what it means to experience God's peace in the middle of life's challenges and discover how He transforms our perspective when we surrender our burdens to Him.

Whether you're walking through loss, uncertainty, disappointment, or the daily weight of life's responsibilities, this conversation will remind you that biblical joy isn't the absence of hardship—it's the confidence that God is faithful in the midst of it.

Join us as we discuss practical ways to keep our eyes fixed on Christ, embrace His strength when ours is gone, and find lasting hope in the One who never leaves us.

Key Topics:

• Finding joy in difficult seasons

• Trusting God's purpose through hardship

• Choosing faith over feelings

• The difference between happiness and biblical joy

• Living with hope in every circumstance

Key Scriptures (NKJV):

• James 1:2–4 — "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials..."

• Philippians 4:4 — "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!"

• Nehemiah 8:10 — "...For the joy of the Lord is your strength."

No matter what you're facing today, God offers a joy that goes deeper than circumstances—a joy rooted in His unchanging character, His promises, and His abiding presence. We pray this conversation with Greg Brown encourages you to discover that even in life's most bearable burdens, Christ is faithfully at work, bringing hope, strength, and lasting joy.

What happens when life leaves your heart wounded, hardened, or seemingly incapable of loving? Whether through betrayal, disappointment, trauma, or years of emotional pain, many people find themselves asking, "Why can't I love the way I used to?"

In this powerful episode of God Stories Radio, special guest Elias Reyes joins us for an honest conversation about the spiritual and emotional barriers that can rob us of our ability to love God, others, and even ourselves.

Together, we explore how unforgiveness, fear, pride, and brokenness can create walls around our hearts—and how the transforming love of Christ can tear those walls down. Through biblical truth, personal testimony, and practical encouragement, you'll discover that what seems impossible for us is completely possible with God.

If you've ever struggled with loving difficult people, healing from past hurts, or believing you're worthy of God's love, this episode offers hope, restoration, and a reminder that the Holy Spirit can renew even the hardest heart.

Key Topics:

• Why our hearts become hardened

• The effects of unforgiveness and unresolved pain

• Receiving God's love before giving it away

• Healing through surrender and grace

• Learning to love as Christ loves

Key Scripture:
"We love Him because He first loved us." — 1 John 4:19 (NKJV)

No matter how distant or damaged your heart may feel today, God's love has the power to restore what you thought was lost. Join us for an inspiring conversation that reminds us that love isn't something we manufacture—it's something we receive from Christ and allow Him to pour through us.

"Your Faith Will Happen" is a reminder that God is always at work behind the scenes, even when we cannot see the outcome. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and practical application, we'll discuss how faith grows through obedience, perseverance, and surrender to God's will. We'll examine what it means to trust God's timing, remain steadfast during seasons of uncertainty, and believe His promises even when circumstances seem impossible.

Whether you're waiting for an answered prayer, facing a difficult trial, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with Christ, this episode will encourage you to keep moving forward, knowing that God honors faith that endures.

Key Scriptures:

• Hebrews – "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
• 2 Corinthians – "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
• James – Faith tested produces perseverance.
• Mark – "All things are possible to him who believes."

Join us as we discover how faith isn't about seeing the entire path—it's about trusting the One who guides every step. When God calls, faith responds. When faith responds, God's purpose unfolds.

God Stories Radio — Real People, Real Stories, Real God.

Welcome the W.A.R Podcast brothers, with your hoist J.D Reel / Ray and Mike! Love you guys!!

Kingdom Con is a podcast that pulls back the curtain on the modern Church—examining where genuine faith ends and manipulation begins. From prosperity gospel preachers and megachurch scandals to the subtle ways spiritual abuse hides behind a smile and a Bible verse, we explore the cons being run in the name of the Kingdom.

But this isn't just about pointing fingers. Kingdom Con is also about reclaiming what's real. Through honest conversations, biblical reflection, and stories from believers who've been burned and found their way back, we ask the hard questions: What does authentic Christianity actually look like? How do we follow Jesus in a world of religious branding, celebrity pastors, and faith-for-sale?

Whether you're a lifelong believer, a skeptic, someone deconstructing your faith, or just curious about the state of the modern Church, Kingdom Con invites you to think critically, hold tightly to truth, and discern the difference between the Kingdom of God and the cons built in its name.

Blessings,

Fritz

Key Scripture:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God... will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7

In this episode, we talk honestly about anxiety and how to give it to Christ — not as a cliché, but as a daily, practical act of faith. Through Scripture, testimony, and encouragement, we'll unpack what it means to cast your cares on Him and receive the peace that surpasses understanding.

You don't have to carry this alone.
There is grace for this moment. There is strength for today.

In this vulnerable conversation, we talk about real struggles with fear, overthinking, and panic — and how Christ meets us there. Not after we fix ourselves. Not after we "pray it away." But right in the middle of it.

If you've ever wondered:

• Why do I still feel anxious if I trust God?

• Does surrender actually work?

• Can peace be real for me?

This episode is for you. Join Fritz and special guest Chris Tompson.

Peace isn't the absence of storms.
It's the presence of Jesus in them.

In this powerful and heartfelt message, Pastor Mack of Living Hope Church in Clermont, Florida invites us into a deeper encounter with the presence of the Holy Spirit. "Holy Spirit Come" is more than a prayer—it's a call to surrender, renewal, and bold faith.

Through biblical teaching, personal insight, and Spirit-led encouragement, Pastor Mack challenges believers to open their hearts fully to God's leading. Whether you are seeking revival, clarity, comfort, or fresh fire in your spiritual walk, this sermon will inspire you to invite the Holy Spirit into every area of your life.

Join us as we lean into God's presence and rediscover the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

When someone says, "Watch this," it usually means something important is about to happen. But when Greg says it, It grabs your attention. Now imagine applying that phrase to the Bible—the living Word of God. Every time we open it, God is saying, "Watch this. Watch what I've done, watch what I'm doing, and watch what I will do."

In the Christian walk, there is a profound difference between knowing god (in a vague, cultural, or superficial sense) and truly knowing God—the living, holy, personal capital 'G' God of Scripture. One leads to religion without transformation, while the other leads to relationship, reverence, and revival.

1. "Knowing god": The Danger of Substitutes

When we say someone "knows god" in the lowercase sense, it often means:

• A generic belief in a higher power without commitment to Jesus Christ.
• An idea of god shaped by culture, comfort, or convenience.
• A belief in self-made gods—things or people we elevate in our lives that take the place of God.

These little 'g' gods are idols in disguise.

Common "little g" gods:

• Success or ambition
• Money or materialism
• Approval or popularity
• Control or self-dependence
• Romance or relationships
• Religion without relationship

"You shall have no other gods before Me." – Exodus 20:3
"Their gods are silver and gold, the work of human hands." – Psalm 115:4

These idols may not be carved statues, but they compete for our worship. They promise what only God can truly give—security, identity, purpose—but they always fail.

2. "Knowing God": The Real, Living Relationship

To know God (capital G) means:

• Relationship over religion – Knowing about God isn't enough. He wants us to walk with Him daily.
• Revelation through Jesus – Jesus said, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father" (John 14:9).
• Submission and transformation – Knowing God means He shapes our identity, decisions, and desires.

"Be still, and know that I am God." – Psalm 46:10
"Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." – John 17:3

3. How to Move from "knowing god" to Truly Knowing God

• Evaluate what you worship – What consumes your time, thoughts, and trust?
• Repent of idols – Confess and surrender the little gods you've allowed to lead you.
• Seek intimacy with God – Through prayer, Scripture, worship, and obedience.
• Invite the Holy Spirit to reveal any hidden idols or areas of misplaced trust.

In our journey of faith, how we respond spiritually to life's challenges, blessings, and questions deeply reflects our walk with Christ. Here are some core principles and key points to guide your spiritual responses:

1. Respond with Faith, Not Fear

"God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." – 2 Timothy 1:7

• Faith trusts God even when the outcome is unclear.
• Fear reacts; faith responds.
• A spiritual response says, "I don't understand this, but I know God is still in control."

2. Respond with Prayer First

"Pray without ceasing." – 1 Thessalonians 5:17

• Before reacting emotionally, go to God in prayer.
• Prayer aligns your heart with His will and gives you peace and clarity.

3. Respond with the Word of God

"It is written..." – Matthew 4:4

• Jesus answered temptation and attack by quoting Scripture.
• Know the Word, speak the Word, and let the Word guide your decisions and emotions.

4. Respond with Love and Grace

"Let your speech always be with grace." – Colossians 4:6

• Spiritual maturity is shown in how we handle others, especially in conflict.
• A harsh response feeds division, but a gracious one opens hearts.

5. Respond with Forgiveness

"Forgive as the Lord forgave you." – Colossians 3:13

• Forgiveness is a powerful spiritual act that frees both the offended and the offender.
• Holding onto offense hinders your growth; letting go invites healing.

6. Respond with Humility

"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." – James 4:6

• Spiritual responses are rooted in humility—admitting we don't know everything, and we need God.
• Pride reacts to protect self-image; humility yields to God's shaping hand.

7. Respond with Praise and Gratitude

"In everything give thanks..." – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

• Even in trials, spiritual eyes look for God's hand and choose praise.
• Gratitude shifts the atmosphere and invites joy into the situation.

8. Respond with Obedience

"If you love Me, keep My commandments." – John 14:15

• A spiritual response isn't just emotional—it's obedient.
• Even when it's hard or unpopular, obedience brings blessing and growth.

1. The Blood: A Sacrifice That Saves

Before resurrection came the crucifixion, where Jesus shed His blood as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. In the Old Testament, the blood of animals was used for atonement, but it was temporary. Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God, offered His blood once and for all:

"Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." – Hebrews 9:22

Through His blood:

• Sin is forgiven
• The curse of death is broken
• We are made righteous before God

2. The Resurrection: Power Over Death

Easter Sunday is the celebration of Jesus rising from the dead, proving that sin and death were truly defeated. But it's not just about Him being alive again—we are spiritually raised with Him:

"...just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." – Romans 6:4

This means:

• We are spiritually resurrected—given new life now
• We have the hope of eternal life
• We walk in victory, not defeat

3. "Risen By the Blood" – Our Identity in Christ

So when we say "Risen by the Blood," we're declaring:

• Jesus rose, and by His blood, we rise too
• We are no longer slaves to sin, shame, or death
• His blood gives us access to resurrection power—spiritually now, and physically one day when He returns

It's not just that Jesus got up—He got us up too.

4. Easter Becomes Personal

Easter Sunday isn't just a holiday—it's a declaration:
"I was dead in sin, but now I'm risen by the blood. I walk in freedom, I walk in grace, and I walk in the power of the resurrected Christ."

A crisis of faith is a deeply personal and often painful experience where a believer struggles with doubts about God, His goodness, or their beliefs. While it can feel like spiritual darkness, it is not uncommon—many strong Christians have faced seasons of questioning and uncertainty.

1. Understanding a Crisis of Faith

A crisis of faith can be triggered by:

• Personal suffering – Loss, illness, unanswered prayers, or hardships can make God seem distant.

• Unfulfilled expectations – When life doesn't go as planned, we may question God's promises.

• Intellectual doubts – Questions about theology, science, or the problem of evil can shake one's faith.

• Hypocrisy or church hurt – Seeing failures in Christian leaders or experiencing hurt from believers can create disillusionment.

Even biblical figures like Job, David, Elijah, and Thomas wrestled with doubts, yet God remained faithful to them.

2. How to Navigate a Crisis of Faith

• Bring Your Doubts to God – God isn't afraid of our questions. The Psalms are full of raw prayers where David expresses his struggles (Psalm 13:1-2).

• Stay in the Word – Even when faith feels weak, continuing to read Scripture allows truth to anchor your heart. Romans 10:17 reminds us that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."

• Surround Yourself with Godly Community – Isolation deepens doubt, but wise counsel and fellowship can bring clarity (Proverbs 11:14).

• Seek God, Not Just Answers – Sometimes, we want explanations when God invites us into deeper trust (Proverbs 3:5-6). Faith grows not by having all the answers but by leaning into God despite uncertainty.

• Remember Past Faithfulness – Reflecting on what God has done in the past can remind us of His faithfulness even in the present storm.

3. The Outcome: Strengthened, Not Destroyed

A crisis of faith does not mean the end of faith—it can be a refining process. James 1:2-4 tells us that trials develop perseverance and maturity. Even Jesus, on the cross, cried out, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46). Yet, in the resurrection, we see that doubt and despair are never the final word.

1. Singleness: A Season of Purpose

• Embracing God's Timing – 1 Corinthians 7:32-34 highlights the blessings of singleness, emphasizing undivided devotion to the Lord. Instead of seeing it as a lack, recognize it as an opportunity to grow spiritually, serve, and discover purpose.
• Building Character – This is the time to develop qualities like patience, kindness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) that will prepare you for any future relationship.
• Fulfilling Kingdom Work – Many great biblical figures, including Paul, thrived in their singleness by focusing on God's mission.

2. Mingling with a Kingdom Mindset

• Guarding Your Heart – Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to protect our hearts. Casual dating without intention can lead to unnecessary heartbreak. Approach relationships prayerfully and with discernment.
• Yoked in Faith – 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns against being unequally yoked. If mingling, seek someone who shares your faith and values.
• Godly Standards Over Worldly Pressure – The world pushes dating based on attraction and emotions, but God calls us to prioritize character, faith, and purpose alignment.

3. Preparing for What's Next (If Marriage Is the Goal)

• Become Who You're Looking For – Instead of just seeking the "right one," focus on becoming the person God has called you to be.
• Pray for Guidance – James 1:5 encourages us to seek wisdom. Ask God to lead your steps when considering a relationship.
• Community & Accountability – Surround yourself with godly counsel, mentors, and Christian friends who will support and guide you in this journey.

Breaking the Cycle Through Christ

1. Sin and Redemption – When we fall into sin, it creates ripples not just in our own lives but in the lives of others. However, Christ provides redemption, allowing us to stop the negative ripple effect by turning back to Him.

2. The Power of Influence – Just as one small action can cause a ripple in water, our words, choices, and behaviors influence those around us. Jesus calls us to be the light of the world (Matthew 5:14) and to create ripples of love, peace, and grace instead of negativity.

3. Spiritual Warfare – Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. "Stopping the drop" means standing firm in faith, prayer, and the Word of God to prevent the enemy from gaining ground.

4. Healing and Restoration – Many times, pain, trauma, and generational curses are like ripples in a pond. They spread from one generation to another. But in Christ, we can break these cycles and bring healing, turning past pain into testimonies of victory.

How to Stop the Drop Spiritually

• Repent and Turn to God – Acknowledge areas where you may have caused negative ripples and seek God's forgiveness.
• Speak Life, Not Death – Proverbs 18:21 says life and death are in the power of the tongue. Speak blessings, not curses.
• Walk in Love and Forgiveness – When we choose love over hate and forgiveness over bitterness, we disrupt the cycle of negativity.
• Pray Without Ceasing – Prayer can change situations and stop the enemy's plans from taking root.
• Be a Christ-Like Example – Live in a way that inspires others to follow Christ rather than stumble.

In our journey of faith, failure isn't the opposite of progress; it's often a crucial part of it. The Bible is filled with stories of people who stumbled, failed, and yet grew closer to God through those very experiences. Think about Peter denying Jesus or Moses' reluctance—their failures didn't disqualify them; rather, they were stepping stones in God's plan for them.

1. Failure Reveals Our Dependence on God

Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 12:9:
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
When we fail, we realize we can't rely on our own strength—we need God. Failure humbles us and draws us closer to Him.

2. Failure Refines Our Character

James 1:2-4 encourages us to consider trials as joy because they produce perseverance. Failure teaches us patience, endurance, and wisdom, molding us into who God wants us to be.

3. Failure Redirects Us to God's Will

Sometimes, failure is God closing a door to guide us toward the right one. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the Lord and not lean on our own understanding—our missteps can actually be divine redirections.

4. Failure Prepares Us for Greater Purpose

Peter denied Jesus three times—a massive failure—but Jesus restored him, and Peter later led thousands to Christ (John 21:15-17, Acts 2). God often allows failure as preparation for something bigger.

5. Failure Strengthens Our Testimony

When we fall and get back up with God's help, our story becomes a testimony to His grace. Romans 8:28 reminds us that God works all things for good for those who love Him. Even our mistakes can glorify Him.

So if you're feeling like you've "stepped on your own toe" spiritually, remember—failure isn't the end. It's part of God shaping you, teaching you, and leading you into a deeper relationship with Him.

1. "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him"

This is one of the most profound statements of faith in the Bible. Job is saying that even if God allows him to die, he will still trust in Him. It reflects a deep, unconditional faith—a belief that God's purposes are good, even when they seem painful or incomprehensible.

• Faith in suffering: Job has lost nearly everything—his wealth, his children, and his health—yet he refuses to turn away from God.
• A test of devotion: This echoes themes found elsewhere in Scripture, such as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3:17-18, where they declare that even if God does not rescue them from the fiery furnace, they will not bow to another god.

2. "But I will maintain mine own ways before Him"

Here, Job asserts his integrity. While he trusts God, he also maintains that he has done nothing to deserve his suffering. This shows that:

• Job does not see his suffering as punishment for sin. His friends argue that he must have sinned to suffer this much, but Job insists he has lived righteously.
• He wants to present his case before God. This foreshadows Job's later plea for an audience with God (Job 31).

The Bigger Picture

Job's statement reveals a deep paradox of faith:

• Trusting in God even when His actions are painful and confusing.
• Holding onto personal integrity while still surrendering to God's sovereignty.

This verse is a challenge to all believers—can we trust God even when life is at its worst? Job's faith ultimately points to Jesus, who on the cross cried, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46) yet still submitted to the Father's will.

In Christ, we have been given a free ticket to ride—a journey of faith, grace, and eternal life. This podcast explores what it means to live in the freedom Christ offers, walking in His love without the burden of sin and shame. Through biblical teaching, personal testimonies, and real-life discussions, we'll dive into topics like salvation, surrender, and trusting God with the path ahead.

Join us as we discover how to fully embrace the gift of grace and ride in faith, knowing that Jesus has already paid the price for our journey. "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36)

Let's walk this journey of faith together—because no matter what you're facing, God is still God, and God is still good.

 Human beings, with their limitations and flaws, are not deserving of ultimate trust or reliance. Instead, faith should be placed solely in Jesus Christ, who is viewed as perfect, unchanging, and divine in Christian belief. This perspective is rooted in the idea that humans are fallible and prone to failure, whereas Jesus, as the Son of God, offers salvation, guidance, and eternal truth that one can depend on without fear of betrayal or disappointment.

Join Fritz and Tina tonight, as we host special guest, Tracey McElroy Dunson, who has lived through this process, and still finding purpose and fulfilment, in Jesus Christ.

Spiritual matters of the heart often delve into the deeper aspects of our emotional and spiritual well-being. These are the areas where faith, love, compassion, forgiveness, and inner peace intersect.

Proverbs 4:23 says "Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life."

 Psalm 26:2 in the New International Version (NIV) reads:

"Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind."

Life's Too Short to Be an Underdog and other spiritual life lessons I learned from my dog.

1. **Reflect on Your Beliefs:** Explore and understand your beliefs about God. Reflect on his word, and what qualities or attributes of God resonate with you. This understanding forms the foundation of your trust.

2. **Study Scriptures and Teachings:** Engage with these texts regularly to deepen your understanding and strengthen your faith.

3. **Prayer and Meditation:** Prayer and meditation are powerful tools for connecting with Jesus. Spend time in quiet contemplation, expressing your hopes, fears, and gratitude to God. Listen for any insights or guidance that may come to you during these practices.

4. **Cultivate Gratitude:** Practicing gratitude can help you recognize how God is present in your life. Make a habit of expressing thanks for the blessings, both big and small, that you experience each day.

5. **Seek Community:** Surround yourself with a supportive community of faith where you can share your journey and draw strength from others. Participating in religious services, study groups, or community service projects can deepen your sense of connection to God and others.

6. **Let Go of Control:** Trusting in God often requires letting go of the need to control every aspect of your life. Surrender your worries and fears to God, trusting He has a plan for you even when things don't go according to your plans.

7. **Look for Signs and Guidance:** Pay attention to the signs and guidance that God may be sending you through your experiences, intuition, or the words and actions of others. Trust in your ability to discern these messages and follow where they lead.

8. **Practice Patience:** Trusting in God is a lifelong journey that requires patience and perseverance. Be patient with yourself and God, knowing your faith will deepen and evolve.

Remember that trusting in God is not always easy, and it's okay to have doubts or struggles along the way. What's important is to continue nurturing your relationship with God and seeking His presence in your life.

Holiness is too often seen as a negative thing. For this reason, many believers avoid the subject at all costs.

Different extremes exist in the Church ranging from legalism on one end and lawlessness on the other, but when interpreted, understood, believed and applied rightly, holiness is beautiful and brings victory, wholeness, life, freedom, joy, and peace to people's lives.

Wholly Holy will help you change your thinking about holiness, and overcome besetting sins, addictions and behaviors no matter how long you've struggled with them.

Become just like Jesus in your thoughts, attitudes, motives, behavior, and speech.

Become wholly holy today!

It's worth noting that the term "bio dad" is informal and may not carry the same emotional or legal weight as terms like "father" or "dad." The nature of the relationship between a biological father and their child can vary widely, and individuals may use different terms based on their unique family circumstances.

Ultimately, the interpretation of this phrase may vary among different Christian denominations and theologians. However, the common thread is that being "poor in spirit" involves a recognition of one's need for God's grace, a humble and dependent posture towards God, and a focus on spiritual values over material possessions. It is often seen as a foundational attitude for Christian discipleship and a key aspect of the Christian journey towards the kingdom of heaven.

 Terry is a pastor serving in the southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, having previously worked in Christian education both in the UK and Perth. He graduated from Vose Seminary with a Masters's in Divinity in 2016. He loves sharing the Gospel and teaching the Word of God.

Terry and Sue arrived in Australia in 2003 from the UK for a 1-year adventure. They never returned! The beaches, the sun, and God's call upon their lives persuaded them to settle in the land 'down-under'. Today they have two grown-up children both married, with four grandchildren and counting.  

Terry writes a popular weekly blog at terrynightingale.com called '4-minute Devotions', short Bible-centred messages for the busy Christian on the go. He also writes Christian worship music and plays the guitar.

'Looking Back to Move Forward' is his first non-fiction book for Christian leaders – in fact for anyone who occasionally faces discouragement or setbacks. His second book, based on his blog, is entitled 'Bite-size devotions for the busy Christian'.  Both are published by Kharis Publishing.

His grandmother was instrumental in introducing him to Jesus and bringing him up in the church from a young age in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA.  However, the lack of a father-figure, the enticement of the streets, and struggles of life drew him away from God. After trying to navigate life on his own terms through the murder of his brother and cousin, and the thoughts of suicide, he realized he couldn't do it on his own. God answered the fervent prayers of his mother and grandmother when he found his way back to God. 

His mother offered him a safe place in Denver, Colorado to rebuild his life and rekindle his relationship with God. Because of his own trials, he has the heart to reach the millennials and introduce them to the love of Jesus.  

He became an ordained minister in 2018 and is the Associate Pastor of Rivers of Living Waters Fellowship in Centennial, CO where he ministers The Word of God alongside his mother, Pastor Monica Gilbert.

He worked as a Youth Probation Counselor for Allegheny County. Since then, God has called him into the world of entrepreneurship where he started his own company at the beginning of 2020.

He is a committed husband to his beautiful wife of 10 years; and a loving father to his two boys. 

He shares his favorite Bible verse with his brother, Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
