Beyond Whetstone: The 1st Boy
from A Time to Sharpen Hosted by Axel Liimatta & Brandon Maxwell
On October 9, 2011, Whetstone Boys Ranch opened its doors to its very first resident: Austin . Today, exactly fifteen years later, we're opening a new chapter—and Austin is helping us turn the first page. We're launching Beyond the Whetstone, our new video podcast series featuring the stories of former residents and graduates, told in their own words. And we couldn't imagine a better person to begin with. Austin's story isn't a tidy tale of troubled teenager turned model citizen. It's a winding, sometimes harrowing journey through addiction, despair, near-death experiences, and the relentless pursuit of a God who refused to let him go. There are moments that will make you laugh. Others that will break your heart. And still others that will remind you just how astonishing God's grace can be. Join us this week on A Time to Sharpen, as we reunite with the boy who started it all, fifteen years after his arrival. Some stories take fifteen years to tell. Some are still being written.
