Lessons Learned from the Carpet

from Paths to Glory · host Robert Johnson

Some testimonies arrive with fire and thunder. Others arrive with the quiet hum of a vacuum cleaner.This week on Paths to Glory, we sit with a man born two blocks behind the church he would spend thirty years running from. Probation by the age of eleven. Three prison sentences. A father figure murdered when he was eight, a mother taken, and a moral compass he tried for decades to drown out. And underneath all of it, a mother who would not stop praying.His is the story of a vow made on his knees in a county jail cell before he even knew his sentence — of a Bible read more than forty times inside — and of a limp back through the sanctuary doors of the very church he had once been chased out of. Not saved by thunder, but by the patient, unglamorous work of a God who was never once in a hurry.And of the lessons a redeemed man began to learn when he picked up a vacuum cleaner and started tending an altar.www.pathstoglory.com If you’re enjoying Paths to Glory, be sure to check out our two other podcasts!Paths to Glory Kenya shares powerful stories of faith and transformation from the heart of Africa — voices of hope, revival, and purpose.And for the young — and the young at heart — don’t miss The Jones Family Chronicles, a fun, faith-filled adventure series for the whole family.You can find Paths to Glory Kenya and The Jones Family ChroniclesThe song "Paths to Glory" created with Udio and written by Roy Allison IV.687DnYhOfZWHus5AEqMx
