Elevators & Anchors: Letting Go to Follow Jesus with Greg Thompson

What happens when the life you’ve always known no longer fits the person God is calling you to become?In this episode of The Life Stories Podcast, we hear a powerful story of transformation—from a life involving drugs, OnlyFans, depression, and destructive choices to discovering a genuine relationship with Jesus and becoming a man determined to live differently.But leaving an old life behind isn’t always easy.We talk about what it means to recognize the “elevators and anchors” in your life—the people who encourage you toward who God is calling you to be and the people who keep pulling you back toward who you used to be. Sometimes following Jesus means walking away from relationships, environments, and habits that no longer belong in the life God is leading you toward.This conversation also dives into fatherhood, worship, learning to love people from a distance, and what happens when your relationship with Jesus becomes more than simply going to church. It’s an honest conversation about the uncomfortable side of transformation—the closed doors, difficult goodbyes, setbacks, and the ongoing process of becoming someone new.His story is proof that your past does not have to determine your future and that God is still transforming lives today.Everyone has a story. This is Greg's story.
