Living Flat Out in Jesus with Bradley Verreynne

Drawing from Genesis and Ecclesiastes, they unpack the call to “hold fast” — not as a feeling, but as a daily, deliberate choice.Whether your marriage is thriving, drifting, or in need of restoration, this conversation lays a foundation for rediscovering connection, celebrating differences, weathering storms, and experiencing the new life God intends for your union.This is the beginning of a series on becoming one — as He is one.

Fifteen schools in as many years. A father with a crime-riddled past. Parents locked in a tumultuous relationship. This was Marty’s normal growing up. Desperate to escape the volatile atmosphere at home, Marty sought out the company of his peers. It led to an early departure from home and the harsh necessity of fending for himself. He surrounded himself with friends whose lives were unraveling — drinking, crime, and fighting became his world. Boxing wasn’t a sport; it was survival. And God was the furthest thing from his mind. But God began to break through in a series of unmistakably supernatural ways. In one breathtaking instant, the violent street fighter was reborn — a heart of stone shattered. Thirty-eight years later, he now leads as a pastor, living proof that no darkness runs too deep for Jesus’ relentless love.
