S2 EP05: Finding Hope After 38 Years
Finding Hope After 38 Years
After 38 years of pain, silence, and prison walls, Joshua believed his story was over. Years of trauma had convinced him that he had no value, no purpose, and nothing left to hope for. But God had a different plan.
Joshua’s journey through addiction and incarceration was long and heavy, but something began to shift when he was introduced to True Purpose Ministries. It was there that he encountered the love of Christ—and it changed everything.
After all this time, Joshua was finding hope after 38 years. He realized that his past didn’t disqualify him—it positioned him to bring hope to others who felt hopeless.
God is in the business of restoring what feels too far gone.
In Joel 2:25, God promises, “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” That’s exactly what He did in Joshua’s life.
Joshua now lives as a man filled with purpose, boldly speaking hope to others who feel trapped by their past. His story is a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to be redeemed, restored, and repurposed by God.
If you’ve been holding onto regret or feel like too much time has passed, let this encourage you: God can bring beauty even from long seasons of brokenness.
Watch Joshua’s full testimony and see how God brought restoration after nearly 40 years.
