He grew up in Lubbock, became a father at 16, battled addiction, nearly lost his marriage, and reached a point where he knew something had to change. Through the prayers of his mother and a divine encounter outside a grocery store, God brought him into a church, saved him, delivered him, and put his life back on track.
In this episode of Testimony Tuesday, Pastor Gibson shares why prayer still matters, why real preaching still saves, and why it is worth staying faithful even when the process takes longer than expected.
