How the Gospel Pulls Us Travis Thisl Tyler Ep 183

Published: Oct. 30, 2017, 5:30 a.m.

Born four days apart in 1977, Travis (aka \u201cThi\u2019sl\u201d) and I didn\u2019t choose where or to whom we were born. But God did. And He placed us in very different homes and stories. Yet the gospel intersected both of our lives, pulled us forward and continues to pull us.

\n

Granted, Travis\u2019 transformation is a lil more interesting and dramatic than mine. But we both were sinners in need of a Savior. And around our 40th birthdays, our paths crossed with an invitation for a trip to Israel.

\n

After hearing bits & pieces of Travis\u2019 story while on our trip and then hearing him perform and share his testimony at a concert. . .I knew I had to share \u201cThi\u2019sl\u201d with y\u2019all.

\n

In this episode you\u2019ll gain hope for any loved one or situation you think is \u201ctoo far gone\u201d for God to redeem. You\u2019ll be reminded that God is in the business of rescuing and making things right. And that God fights for you (which ironically my pastor reminded us of yesterday). You can drop your weapons of control. You can surrender your way and follow God\u2019s way. And believe God is\xa0for\xa0you and He CAN free you (spoiler alert: just like how He actually freed Travis from prison!!).

\n

At the end of the interview Travis shares 3 questions he answers in his book,\xa0\u201cAgainst All Odds\u201d:

\n

What is my identity. What am I living for? Am I too far gone for God to use me?

\n

Here are his answers:

\n

You\u2019re not too far gone. God created you for a purpose. God made you in His image.

\n

Boom.
