Homelessness. Trafficked. Abused. Jesus Offers a New Name with Dr. Gary Brewster (Podcast #31)

A six year-old boy can’t take watching his stepdad mercilessly beat his mom. He drives a knife into his chest. A young girl, trafficked for the lust of men. Rescued. Only to be sexually abused as a foster child. A young boy. Drugged. Penetrated by his uncle. Then wakes up in a dog house … an actual dog house. Dr. Gary Brewster has worked with these individuals and many more. Jesus cleanses, heals, and gives them a “new name” — everything changes as they experience their new identity.

To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it. (Jesus in Revelation 2:17, English Standard Version)

Jesus offers you a white stone with a new name on it. No one knows this name but Jesus and you. It’s a unique destiny — a singular purpose which no one has but you.
