In this episode, we sit down with Nathan, a man whose journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Once an army reservist, he transitioned to life on the road as a long haul truck driver and then into the grueling world of the oil industry in Fort MacMurray. But for many years, beneath the tough exterior, he was battling demons - clinical depression, divorce, alcoholism, PTSD, and family loss. In his words, he 'hit rock bottom many times'.

Then, one night, everything changed. The Holy Spirit came to him, and from that moment on, his life took a new direction. Three years ago, he was baptized, and today, he stands as a testament to healing, faith, and redemption. He’s never been more at peace, more joyful, or more ready to serve Jesus.

Join us as he shares his powerful story of struggle, surrender, and salvation.
