In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Jeff Garner — a single father, business owner, and man who has walked through darkness most people can't imagine. Jeff grew up bouncing between instability, addiction, and survival. By eleven years old he was already drinking and smoking, and by his teenage years he was fully consumed by the lifestyle he once idolized. What started as fun quickly became a prison. The hole in his heart only grew deeper, and eventually he found himself living without hope, without direction, and without any sense of freedom.

But God never stopped knocking.

Jeff shares how years of pain, brokenness, and near-death moments finally brought him to a point where the only thing he could do was cry out for help. His journey into recovery wasn't clean or quick, but it became the path where God met him, taught him how to surrender, and slowly rebuilt the foundation of his life. For years Jeff prayed to a God he barely understood, only to later realize that Jesus had been pursuing him the entire time. When he finally opened the Scriptures and read the Gospels for himself, everything clicked — the freedom he'd been chasing, the healing he couldn't find, and the peace he'd never experienced all made sense in the person of Christ.

Jeff's story is raw, honest, and filled with reminders that real transformation doesn't happen through willpower — it happens when you finally stop running and let God take over. Whether you're struggling with addiction, battling distraction, or wrestling with what faith even means, this conversation is a powerful reminder that Jesus meets us exactly where we are… and He never leaves us there.

If this story stirs something in you—pray on it.
 If you're searching for more—lean in.
 Because God is always knocking. The question is: will you answer?
