#testimonytuesday with Grant. Grant joined Eagles nest in 2013 and today serves on the clinical side of ENRM. Read his story below and see how God transformed his life!

"I remember how my arms were still bruised and scarred from the track marks that first day when I came to Eagles Nest. I had spent the last 18 days in a hospital, bed-ridden from withdrawal as I detoxed from a prescription painkiller and benzodiazepine habit. I was so ashamed and wanted to hide. But I was greeted in the foyer with open arms and a bear hug that left me half-dazed. I knew instantly that these men were my brothers. They understood what I had been through. 

My program was difficult.  Although 29-years old, I was still a child in my thinking. I wanted to do things my way — neither God nor anyone else was going to tell me what to do. Patiently, with more grace than I deserved, the Lord began to speak to me. He spoke to me through my journal, through staff, and through the men around me. He showed me the fruit of my pride and arrogance. As much as I fought to look away, He never blinked. 

Although I couldn’t see it at the time, the difficulties, and trials I endured during my program were preparing me to walk in an eternal calling and receive unimaginable blessing. Following graduation, I committed to stay on at Eagles Nest for a year of Servant Leadership Training. I became more involved at church by joining the worship team to play keys each Sunday. 

During this season, I met Amy, one of the worship leaders. We got to know each other through the worship team, and eventually, we started dating. After Servant Leadership Training, I stayed at Eagles Nest for OJT (on-the-job training) and I transitioned into a new role on the clinical side of Eagles Nest. That was almost 8 years ago. 

Today, my blessings are too many to count. I married Amy in March 2016, and we still lead worship together. We bought a home and now have a little boy. My life has purpose and I have a career doing what I love. 

Above all, I am blessed with an intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I thank Eagles Nest for giving me an opportunity to meet Him."
