#92 The Witness - Steven Matamoros

Steven Matamoros grew up as a Jehovah's Witness with a distorted view of God. But through a crumbling marriage and heartbreaking loss, he would encounter the true God of the Bible, who promised to always be by Steven's side... even in the darkest of times.

He lost his parents as a child and his future prospects appeared bleak, until God came looking for him and revealed to Peter who his “True Father” was. https://compelledpodcast.com/episodes/peter-davidson #73 A Love Story - Frank & Annette Loria: Frank was a self-righteous "good guy" who thought he could earn God's favor by following the rules. Annette, on the other hand, barely stopped to think if God had rules at all, and instead indulged in whatever she felt like. Both of them had defined God to be whoever they thought He was… but they’d soon find out that He was entirely different. https://compelledpodcast.com/episodes/frank-annette-loria #59 My Marriage Was Crumbling - Barbara Mula: Barbara’s life growing up was chaotic at best and scarred with abuse. To protect herself, Barbara put up emotional walls and developed a tough personality. But when her marriage began crumbling, she realized those walls would never hold up. If everything she thought to be true was false, how would she ever find a firm foundation? https://compelledpodcast.com/episodes/barbara-mula 🔗 Helpful Links: Lakeview Christian Center: This is the same church where Steven and all the podcast guests mentioned above attend in New Orleans, Louisiana.
