About Episode

Brandon Baker found comfort in church. Well what he would say was his church for several years; the local bar. Uncertain of who he really was as a teenager and longing for love. He searched in all the wrong places and with all the wrong things. Brandon walked through the isolating journey of addiction. One divinely orchestrated birthday message sent at the right time, and by the right person would catalyst him closer to the man he longed to be. Choosing Jesus as the love he desired was a path he knew nothing about and yet it has become the path he is most proud of. God is interwoven in this powerful story of pain and redemption. The long journey and the pursuit God took to bring Brandon home. There is no doubt you will be humbled and empowered by Brandon’s story.
