20. Efren Rojas | God of Pursuit

In this raw and powerful episode, I sat down with EJ Rojas, a man who once wore the uniform of the military but carried invisible wounds that nearly cost him everything.Driven by high standards and a relentless inner critic, EJ battled deep disappointment in himself—even when he gave life his absolute best. Eventually, the weight of PTSD, depression, and alcoholism brought him to the edge. Ready to give up, he reached a breaking point.But God wasn’t done with him yet.Through divine intervention, EJ was saved from suicide and the grip of alcohol. In this episode, he shares how “alcohol is a thief,” how pride became his enemy, and how God's grace “shook him into obedience.” EJ's story is one of redemption, truth, and the radical love of a God who relentlessly pursues His children.With his second chance, he is sharing the gospel and serving men through prison ministry.
