Ep 11 - Trauma to Truth: Jesus Martínez - Cheek Turners

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the 3 Doves Podcast, ⁠Jesus Martinez ⁠shares how he was born in Venezuela, grew up poor in Southwest Florida, and fell into drugs, violence, and gang involvement after childhood sexual abuse and trauma at home. Searching for peace through art, the library, philosophy, yoga, and Buddhism, he later had a vision at 20 that led him to pursue Jesus, examine the historical reliability of the Bible, and wrestle with division in the modern church versus true discipleship. Jesus describes an immediate transformation—leaving drugs, pursuing holiness, and calling his family to faith—eventually witnessing widespread conversion in his family and even leading his abuser to Christ, while acknowledging ongoing healing. He emphasizes that God’s call is not “mission” but daily obedience, practiced through listening, Sabbath, and surrender.Support the showAll rights reserved by 3 Doves Ministry, 3 Doves Podcast and 2 True Interactive, Inc.
