Life is Hard, God is Good
New Creation: Keith | Jesus Changes Lives Episode 13
No matter what your past looks like, you are always just one call away from a new life.
Trigger warning: su*cide, drugs
Keith felt this hole in his heart from a young age. His parents divorced and Keith struggled with anger and depression. After going to rehab for suicidal thoughts, he attempted to fill the whole and numb the pain with anything and everything - drugs, marijuana, partying, cigarettes, alcohol, prescription pills. Keith dropped out of high school, was financially irresponsible, and got arrested a couple of times.
Instead of just a hole in his heart, it took over his whole life so that Keith felt completely dead inside. The enemy wanted to take his life.
BUT GOD encountered Keith through music. The songs spoke to his heart and he knew he needed Jesus.
About his encounter with Jesus, Keith says:
“It took the devil three months to get to the point where my soul felt dead, my spirit felt dead, and I wanted to kill myself. 30 seconds after I prayed, I felt the stress that I used to have on my shoulders lifted. I felt this fire of Jesus’ love burning in my heart. I felt joy, I felt peace, I felt love. I felt like I was drowning in deep deep deep water and Jesus just pulled me out and just breathed the breath of life in me. I felt like at that moment that my spirit became alive, that I was reborn - I was regenerated like the Bible said. I felt at that split second as I called on the name of Jesus, He just came… I’m alive in Christ.”
Because of encountering the love of Jesus, God has transformed Keith into a new creation.

- Willingness to serve
- Evangelism & preaching
- Speaking truth & life
