Description:
In this powerful episode of The Jesus Magnet podcast, we sit down with Ronnie Griffin, a man whose life was once marked by adversity, addiction, and imprisonment. Growing up in a deprived area of Bristol, United Kingdom, Ronnie faced bullying and found solace in a troubled path involving theft, marijuana, and alcohol. His life took a dramatic turn when he ended up in prison—an experience that became the unexpected gateway to his first encounter with Jesus.
But Ronnie’s journey wasn’t a straight path to redemption. After a brief spiritual awakening behind bars, he drifted away, not realizing the profound need for a genuine relationship with Jesus and the importance of repentance in walking the path outlined in the Bible.
Years of battling alcohol abuse, coupled with excessive hours spent on online gaming and porn, defined Ronnie’s existence—until a transformative moment changed everything. Troubled and desperate for help, Ronnie turned to his family, only to discover that his two sons had been fervently praying for his salvation.
Today, 11 years later, Ronnie not only pastors a church but is also preparing to release a book chronicling the incredible work that God has done and continues to do in his life.
