The Jesus Magnet

Description: In this powerful episode of the Jesus Magnet podcast, we sit down with Ronnie Griffin, a man whose life was once marked by adversity, addiction, and imprisonment. Growing up in a deprived area of Bristol, United Kingdom, Ronnie faced bullying and found solace in a troubled path, involving theft, marijuana, and alcohol. His life took a dramatic turn when he ended up in prison, an experience that became the unexpected gateway to his first encounter with Jesus. However, Ronnie's journey wasn't a straight path to redemption. After a brief stint of spiritual awakening behind bars, he fell away, not realizing the profound need for a genuine relationship with Jesus and the importance of repentance in walking the path outlined in the Bible. Years of battling alcohol abuse, coupled with excessive hours spent on online gaming and porn, defined Ronnie's existence until a transformative moment.

Troubled and seeking help, Ronnie turned to his family, only to discover that his two sons had been fervently praying for him. Join us as Ronnie shares the remarkable story of his turnaround. Now, 11 years later, he not only pastors a church but is also on the brink of completing a book chronicling the incredible work that God has done and continues to do in his life. Tune in to this episode of the Jesus Magnet podcast for an inspiring narrative of resilience, faith, and the life-changing power of encountering Jesus in the midst of darkness.
