In this episode of This Is Your Life, host Bobbie Agee sits down with two individuals whose lives prove that no distance is too far for God’s reach—whether that distance is the depth of a drug addiction or the miles across the ocean to China.
First, Kyle Estes opens up about a 16-year downward spiral into heavy drug use that cost him his money, his family, and nearly his freedom. He shares the chilling reality of addiction and the "Teen Challenge" program that helped him transition from dead religion into a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
Then, Carol Long discusses her mid-life pivot from a quiet life in Florida to a five-year mission in China. From teaching English to PhD students to witnessing the silent, powerful growth of the Chinese house church, Carol’s story is a testament to God’s provision and the global hunger for the Gospel.
Main Highlights Include:
-- The turning point: How Kyle went from a Pentecostal upbringing to losing custody of his daughter and living in his car.
-- The difference between "faking it" through religious motions and experiencing a genuine spiritual hunger.
-- Overcoming the fear of failure as a parent through the grace of God.
-- How Carol and her husband sold their "pool home" in their 50s to follow a sudden calling to the mission field.
-- The unique challenges and joys of sharing Christ in a country where open preaching is prohibited.
-- Heartwarming stories of Chinese elders weeping while watching the Jesus film for the first time.
