From Roof’s Edge to Encounter with God | A Poet-Priest’s Testimony
CBN testimony of depression lifted through encounter with God's presence.
About this video
A powerful testimony of God’s pursuit through poetry, pain, and Scripture. Raised with a vibrant faith, a teen lands at a hostile boarding school, sinks into depression, and nearly gives up—until beauty, literature, and finally Psalm 145 open the door to a life-changing encounter with the presence of God. Hear how an illuminating sermon on the Incarnation made everything click, how a calling to ministry and poetry emerged, and why hope is real for anyone who feels unseen. If this encourages you, share it with someone who needs courage today.
