What happens when Jesus doesn’t just rescue you from your old life—but gives you a completely new mission?

Craig “5ive” James is a Christian rap artist and evangelist whose testimony is rooted in the transforming power of Jesus. After living a life marked by drugs, Craig encountered Christ and experienced a change that redirected the course of his life.

Today, he uses both music and evangelism to share the gospel and point others to the same Jesus who rescued him.

In this episode of The Contagious Faith Podcast, Craig shares his personal testimony, how Jesus brought him out of his former lifestyle, and how that redemption became fuel for his calling. We also talk about his journey as a Christian rap artist and the role music can play in reaching people who may never walk into a church.

This is more than a story about leaving drugs behind. It’s about what can happen when someone who has been rescued realizes their testimony can become a source of hope for someone else.

IN THIS EPISODE:
• Craig’s testimony of coming to Jesus
• Being rescued from a life of drugs
• How redemption gave him a new sense of purpose
• Becoming a Christian rap artist
• Using music as a platform to point people to Christ
• Craig’s heart for evangelism
• Why sharing your testimony matters
• How God can use your past to reach others

Craig’s story is a reminder that Jesus doesn’t simply call us out of darkness. He calls us into purpose.

Your past doesn’t have to define your future—and your testimony may be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
