Daybreak Church Podcast

Can God redeem years of addiction, brokenness, and even a near-fatal grizzly bear attack? In this powerful testimony message, you’ll hear how God met Jim and Liz in the middle of trauma, alcoholism, anxiety, marital chaos, and generational pain—and wrote a completely new story of healing, freedom, and restoration.

Pastor Jason invites them to share how God:
• Rescued Jim after a violent grizzly bear attack in the Northwest Territories
• Pursued Liz through years of partying, panic attacks, and emotional brokenness
• Used a 40-day “media fast” and God’s Word to set her free from a 22-year addiction
• Answered five years of a wife’s persistent prayer for her husband’s heart
• Restored a marriage that looked like a total “train wreck”
• Brought hope to deep family wounds, fatherlessness, and generational trauma

This message will encourage anyone who feels:
• Stuck in addiction, anxiety, or secret double life
• Worn out from praying for a spouse, child, or loved one
• Unsure if God can really use their story for good
• Far from God and afraid to come “back under the umbrella” of His grace

🔍 Key Themes & Scriptures:
• God works all things together for good – Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28
• Being “hot”: honest, open, and transparent
• The power of persistent prayer (Liz praying from 2010–2015)
• Salvation through Jesus alone – John 3:16
• Freedom through God’s Word – Joshua 1:8
• The enemy’s plan vs. God’s plan – John 10:10
• Coming back under God’s covering as husbands, wives, and parents

If you’re wondering whether God has given up on you or your family, this story is a living reminder: He hasn’t moved. His hand is still reaching for you. His goodness is running after you.
