Today marks 23 years since I took my last drink.But this episode isn't about sobriety.It's about freedom.Twenty-three years ago I was overweight, addicted, depressed, angry, lost, and convinced my life was headed nowhere good.Today I'm reading portions of the alcohol chapter from my first book, I Asked God To Kill Me, and sharing the story of how God pulled me out of the pit and completely changed the trajectory of my life.This is not a story about willpower.It's not a story about self-help.It's not a story about becoming a better version of yourself.It's a story about redemption.It's a story about grace.It's a story about what happens when Jesus Christ gets hold of a broken man and refuses to let go.If you're struggling...If someone you love is struggling...If you've ever wondered whether real transformation is possible...This episode is for you.There is hope.There is freedom.There is another side to this fight.And if God can do it for me...He can do it for you.📖 GET THE BOOK"I Asked God To Kill Me"This isn't a book sale.It's a rescue mission.Buy a copy for yourself.Buy a copy for a son.Buy a copy for a daughter.Buy a copy for a spouse.Buy a copy for a friend you've been praying for.👉 https://a.co/d/05xZ8GAU🌊 READY TO GO DEEPER?If you're ready to stop drifting and start becoming the person God created you to be, schedule a call with me.👉 https://calendly.com/jimmotz/schedule-your-call-with-jim🔥 THE BUILDING & BECOMING MISSIONWe help men and women build stronger faith, stronger bodies, stronger families, and stronger lives.📖 Word💦 Water🏋️ WeightsFaith.
