“THE MAN WHO FOUND GOD IN THE DARK” —( Jahvon Thompson Pillar Talk Episode)

In this powerful men’s segment, we sit with Jahvon —
a brother shaped by silence, sharpened by struggle,
and carried out of a 14-year arranged marriage
through nothing but the peace of God and the strength of surrender.

He opens up about:

✨ Growing up without a father present
✨ Bearing the weight of a mother hardened by her own wounds
✨ Being treated like the reflection of a man who rejected him
✨ Learning to hold everything in just to survive
✨ The lie of control that almost took him out
✨ And the moment he realized the enemy could touch many things
— but never his destiny

Jahvon walks us through the season where God told him:
“Your tears will be your food.”
And how, in his lowest valley,
calling the name of Jesus became the only doorway to peace.

He speaks on fatherhood with humility and redemption,
rewriting a generational script he never had the chance to read.
A man abandoned by his father,
yet faithfully present for his own child —
a living example of a cycle broken, not repeated.

This episode is raw, honest, poetic, and holy.
It’s a testimony of a man who learned that surrender is not weakness —
it’s how you survive.
It’s how you heal.
It’s how you rise.

This is the story of a Black man taking back his voice,
rebuilding his identity,
and stepping into his calling with clarity and courage.

A true pillar in the village. A Facilitator for the community.
A reminder that God still writes comeback stories in the dark.
