From Saddle to Sanctuary: Pastor Tri Robinson's Path to Recovery
We all have made something other than God, the god of our lives. The message of that is about getting that right, about allowing God to rescue us, not thinking that we're the ones who are able to rescue ourselves.
What do horse training and pastoring have in common? For Pastor Tri Robinson, they’re both chapters in a remarkable story of transformation. In this episode of Recovery Podcast, Robinson takes us on a journey from his rugged days as a horse trainer to his inspiring role as a pastor at The Rock Church.
