Ep 19 - Near Death, Near Darkness, Near Grace - Mario Lara

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of the 3 Doves Podcast, Mario Latta shares his incredible journey from the violent streets of Guatemala City to discovering the grace and peace of Jesus Christ. Raised in extreme poverty, surrounded by gangs, prostitution, addiction, and abuse, Mario grew up carrying deep wounds from childhood trauma and rejection.After coming to the United States at 18, Mario pursued success in education and accounting, but behind the achievements was a growing spiritual emptiness. His search for meaning eventually pulled him into self-help philosophies, New Age spirituality, rituals, and psychedelic experiences with ayahuasca. What began as a search for enlightenment slowly led him deeper into darkness.But God was still pursuing him. Through supernatural moments, repeated encounters, and the unmistakable call of Jesus, Mario began a journey out of deception and into truth. In this powerful conversation, he opens up about fear, identity, spiritual warfare, forgiveness, and how the grace of God transformed his life.This episode is a reminder that no one is too far gone, no darkness is too deep, and God’s grace still reaches into the broken places of our lives.Horseman's LandscapeWe are so thankful for Chris Horsemans and his continued support of our podcast.
