Dan Renfro and I go way back—we worked together during my time in Ohio, but lost touch over the years. Then, two years after my wife passed away, I was in a season of sleepless nights. One early morning, around 4 a.m., I found myself scrolling through my feed, and there he was—Rev. J. Dan Renfro—preaching a sunrise sermon live.I dropped a comment. He saw it. And in real time, he called me out by name and welcomed me into his virtual congregation. That moment sparked a reconnection—and led to this conversation.What unfolded is a gripping, unfiltered look at Dan’s life: a story shaped by deep struggle, addiction, loss, and hard choices—but also by grit, grace, and radical transformation. This isn’t a polished tale. It’s not easy listening. It’s real.Dan doesn’t preach from a distance—he walks alongside the broken because he’s been there. He speaks with the kind of honesty that only comes from surviving what could have ended him.We talked for 48 minutes before pressing pause—and we weren’t done.Bonus episode coming shortly.
