Jacob Watson had known about Jesus his whole life but at a young age he drifted away from the Lord and eventually found himself living a lifestyle that included drugs, money and multiple trips to jails and psych wards. Through it all Jacob was searching for a Savior. In his early twenties, Jacob became aware of how alive and active Jesus is and he really started to follow him. Jacob experienced the goodness of God and His grace even when he wanted nothing to do with God. Jacob’s faith was stretched and tested when he faced a stage 4 cancer diagnosis of which he has been healed. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jacob.r.watson.3

Not just on Sunday, not just on holidays, not just when extraordinarily hard or wonderful things happen…but today.

His transforming grace turns your “everyday ordinary” into a holy place of becoming. http://GraceLaced.com
