I don't think we've had too many stories like Carl's, where the desire was removed and God kind of did a complete liberating freedom from desire.
Ever wondered how someone can go from the chaos of gang life and addiction to leading a congregation? Rev. Carl Johnson's story is one you won't want to miss. In this episode of 'Real Recovery', Carl takes us on his incredible journey from selling drugs and living on the streets to finding his true calling as a pastor at Faith City Church in St. Paul.
Despite multiple stints in prison and bouts of homelessness, Carl always felt a deeper purpose tugging at his heart. It just took him a while—and a lot of struggles—to finally listen. Carl's transformation didn't happen overnight. It was a long road filled with challenges, but he credits his turnaround to the unwavering support of his church community and the life-changing Teen Challenge program.
These elements helped him not only break free from his past but also instill the discipline needed to follow through on his deliverance. This episode isn't just about Carl's past; it's about the importance of surrendering to a higher plan and discovering one's identity in Christ. His story serves as a powerful reminder that no matter how far gone you think you are, there's always hope for redemption.
Tune in to hear Carl's moving testimony and find inspiration for your own journey toward a better life.
