About this episode
From fatherlessness and addiction to depression, homelessness, and heartbreak—Rob’s life was marked by deep pain and loss. But in the middle of the darkness, Jesus met him. This is a powerful testimony of God’s relentless love, healing, and restoration. Rob shares how every valley prepared him for his purpose and how surrendering fully to Jesus changed everything. If you’ve ever questioned your worth, your purpose, or even God's existence, this testimony is for you.
