      Chapter 2 of Titus is one body of thought and vv.11-14 contain the engine to what Paul says there about the virtues he calls all believers to. One of the things we learn in Titus 2 is that the power of God's grace transforming us and purifying us in our lives is the proof of the truth of Christ. These testimonies of God's saving grace are the proof that Christ has risen - he saves his chosen sheep!

    The light in his face is still so fresh, as if he just gave his life to Christ recently. I'm so happy his mom became a Christian and so thankful she got to witness God's transformation in the lives of her boys. Amazing testimony and what a huge smile it brought to my face this morning. Thank you, Becket!

    I don't know how I happened to stumble on to your show, Becket, but did so two days ago, and I have been so impacted! Your show is so culturally-relevant, and hearing the testimonies is reviving my walk with the Lord right now as it hasn't been in years. Herman Mendoza's testimony is so powerful, and it's so incredible how the love of God transformed and touched his whole family! Thank you so much for what you are doing! I'm so glad God picked you out to do this!

    It took 25 years for one of my sons to come to Christ from living a life of drugs and rebellion. Only Jesus Christ can change a life. What a wonderful testimony of the grace of God to this man. Keep praying for your loved ones who need Jesus. It is not His will that any should perish, but thst all should come to repentance and faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary.

    I just absolutely love hearing real-life stories like this. That this man does so with gratitude when others would see themselves as a victim is admirable. And I can't believe how happy he is considering his story! I got a bit choked up hearing about he and his wife forgiving each other & starting over as new creatures in Christ. This man is a fine example of how God can transform us if we let him & I am eager to find his book to read.

    Praise God for His amazing grace! That scripture came to my mind: But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). HE loves us even while we are yet in our sins, rebelling against Him and living for our own. But what a change He brings, when we meet Christ!
    Thanks for your ministry, its such an encouragement!

    This testimony is so moving and encouraging. Right now, at this very moment I am sitting in a coffee shop to meet with my husband and our daughter. She has something to tell us and we are not quite sure what it means, she’s 22 years old and has walked away from God. We believe she’s living alternative lifestyle. My daughter is very aware of what the Bible has to say about sin, where we stand in the Lord and the consequences of walking away from the Lord.
    This testimony is encouraging for me in hopes that God would draw her back to Him.

    What an amazing story of the POWER of Jesus Christ over darkness and the grip it can take on people-by manipulating their vulnerabilities! And, Becket, you are such a wonderful interviewer. You can ask the right questions to guide to bring out every pertinent detail to complete one’s testimony. God Bless you both. You encourage me!!
