Description
In this episode of the Redeemed Podcast, host Lauren Burns interviews G Rod, who shares his incredible testimony. At 19, G Rod was about to sign with Bad Boy Records and seemed destined for a successful music career. However, he became entangled in a life of partying and drug addiction, which led to a near-death experience. Through divine intervention, G Rod's life was miraculously spared, leading him to a transformative spiritual journey. Today, he is an author, speaker, and founder of a ministry. G Rod recounts his early love for music, his troubled teenage years, and the miraculous events that led him to faith. He also discusses his book 'Lost Now Found,' which explores themes of addiction, identity, and divine purpose. The episode ends with encouragement for listeners to seek a deeper relationship with God and to share their own stories of redemption.
