In this episode of Glory Stories, we sit down with Dr. Jackson Drumgoole — retired Army officer, leadership director at Wellstar, and founder of Bridge Builder Community, Augusta’s first tiny home community for youth aging out of foster care.Dr. Drumgoole shares his testimony of salvation as a teenager, supernatural encounters that confirmed his calling, and his lifelong mission to care for “the least of these.” From lessons in discipline and patience during 29 years of military service, to launching Bridge Builder Communities with his wife, his story is a powerful reminder that God equips us for the vision He gives us.

📌 Highlights:

- How God called Jackson as a teen through two life-changing encounters.

- The “anointing, appointing, and disappointing” phases of walking out a calling.

- Why his last name Drumgoole connects to foster care ministry

- How Bridge Builder Communities is transforming lives of youth aging out of foster care.

- Advice to his younger self — and anyone wrestling with a God-given vision.

✨ Be encouraged to trust the process, follow God’s timing, and step boldly into your calling.
