EP#56: From Felony to Favor - Evan Batts

In this powerful episode of The God Wink Podcast, host Cyndee Sparre sits down with Evan Batts.  At 18 years old, his future nearly disappeared in a single moment.Facing a 5-year felony for drug possession and distribution, everything he had hoped for—his career, his reputation, his future—hung in the balance. But what seemed like the worst day of his life would later reveal itself as one of God’s greatest interventions.In this powerful testimony, he shares how God orchestrated unexpected circumstances that led to his arrest, ultimately protecting him from a much darker path. After receiving undeserved mercy through a wiped-clean record, he was given a second chance—but the real test came years later.When applying for a government job, he faced a defining decision: remain silent about his past or risk everything by telling the truth.What happened next could only be explained as divine favor.But even after experiencing God’s provision, the deeper battle wasn’t external—it was internal. He struggled with shame, feeling unworthy of God’s love, and believed he needed to fix himself before coming to Christ. That’s when a life-changing revelation through Scripture transformed everything: he realized his identity wasn’t based on his performance, but on Christ’s finished work.Connect with Evan BattsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-batts-mba-76630153?Email: [email protected]'s Podcast Sponsor:Denise Mckibben | My Hair Growth Clinichttps://www.myhairgrowthclinic.com/NEW Ad Sponsorship Packages Availablehttps://bit.ly/TheGodWinkPodcastSponsorshipSubscribe to The God Wink Podcasthttps://bit.ly/TheGodWinkPodcastSubscribeMy Christian Business Network | Learn Morehttps://mychristianbusinessnetwork.com/join/Need Prayer?
