Forty-one years of religion, rebellion, addiction, prison, and pain—then one real encounter with Jesus changed everything.In this powerful episode, Adrienne sits down with Justin Taylor for a raw and unfiltered conversation about survival, surrender, identity, and redemption. Justin shares how childhood trauma, addiction, incarceration, violence, and destructive choices shaped his life before he fully surrendered to Jesus Christ on August 12, 2023.Justin opens up about his book, From Saved to Surrendered, and the ministry that grew from his testimony. Today, he serves in jails and prisons, leads recovery and outreach programs, baptizes family members, and helps others discover that their past does not disqualify them from being used by God.In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why testimony must come before teaching
• The Bible that changed Justin’s behavior while he was in solitary confinement
• His encounters with Christ in prison and during moments of crisis
• Freedom from addiction, alcohol, and cigarettes
• The story behind Surrendered Ministries
• Justin’s work in jails, prisons, and recovery programs
• How his wife and children witnessed his transformation
• The “Crushing Addiction” outreach event
• Breaking generational cycles through faith and discipleship
• Why Justin believes your identity cannot be understood until you know Jesus

If you need hope that your past is not the end of your story, this conversation is for you. Justin’s testimony is a reminder that no matter where you have been, what you have done, or what people have called you, God can still redeem your life and use your story to reach others.
