25.36 A Remarkable VIP Visit with T.J. Valtierra (Part 1)

The Navajo have a very expressive term for the English expression, "Oh my goodness!"  It's Yah-di-lah!  All LaDonna and Craig Smith can say regarding the life story of this truly Victorious Indigenous Person, T.J. Valtierra is,  YAH-DI LAH!  The backstory of this amazing servant of Christ is so incredibly challenging it seems even Hollywood would find it hard pressed to capture it in a blockbuster movie!  But true it is, as told right from this amazing warrior for Christ, T.J. Valtierra.  Like many Native people in North America, T.J. and his family was raised in the urban inner-city.  His parents continue to maintain a faithful ministry of over fifty-years, and yet, for all his siblings, crime, drugs, violence, gangs, and other inner-city woes are their stories.  But yet, as you'll hear in this amazing multi-episode series, there is redemption for all at the foot of the cross.  Now, T.J. is one of the most powerful young Native preachers in all of Native North America as he continues to serve the Lord in the same inner-city environment that stole so much of his youth and life.  The Smiths are privileged to work with T.J. and other young Native ministry workers through their ongoing partnership with On Eagle's Wings and their Warrior Leadership Summit, which is where the Smiths caught up with T.J. and his beautiful young family in the summer of 2025.  This is one story you will not want to miss one episode of dear friends.  What's better than reading about the life and times of T.J. Valtierra?  Well, listening to the life and times of T.J. Valtierra!  So without any further delay, the Smiths are excited to share with you this remarkable VIP visit with their dear brother in Christ, T.J.!
