147: Patrick Meyers and the Kind Initiator

Patrick Meyers is a spiritual director, counselor, and coach. Today, Patrick shares the story of God’s kind pursuit of his life. He shares how he initially rejected the Lord’s work in his life, how God finally got a hold of him, and the process the Lord used to make Patrick dependant on him. Patrick works in his ministry, Vector Ministries and helps others experience the relationship God has given him. Patrick’s story teaches us that God is always in hot pursuit of our hearts even when we doubt him.

Please listen to Patrick’s story today!

Stories Patrick shared:

Growing up in a dysfunctional home in Nebraska
Asking God if he wanted the money in his pocket
Developing a relationship with God while in rehab
Finally finding Jesus in his life
His career in the Marine Corps and how his life unraveled
The season of loss after he was discharged
How Jesus healed his beliefs over time

Great quotes from Patrick:

I definitely see God as the initiator of every good thing in my life.

Each period of my life has its own testimony.

It felt like my life was over but God was saying, “No, it hasn’t even begun yet.”

My passion with Victor Ministries is to introduce him to people and introduce them to the goodness I’ve experienced first hand.
