UD EP31: A Story of Brokenness and Redemption

In this Episode Mike and Jarrod sit down with Zach who shares his raw, graphic, and authentic childhood through young adulthood story. Despite enduring so much in his early life, deep down Zach felt like there was something more to life and that something had a call on his life. At his most broken point in life Zach found Jesus and realized what this call had been on his life.

At age seven, Zach began praying that God would leave him on earth during the end times so that he could help save those that are still worth saving. Even though he had no faith background, the childhood trauma he experienced, drove him to desire to help others. Throughout his life, Zach has experienced a variety of life-altering situations that has shaped him into the man of God that he has become. A major legal issue brought him to Radiant Church where he had an encounter with Jesus that would change the trajectory of his life. While at Radiant, he met his wife Melissa, who has a similar desire and passion to help redeem broken lives. Together they have founded Redemption Squad Ministry to help those that society has given up on—the broken, addicted, abused, forgotten, imprisoned, and homeless. The heart of Redemption Squad Ministry is to transform cities one life at a time through the love, grace, and power of Jesus Christ.
