Drew & Janis – Meeting Jesus in the Broken Places

Drew and Janis shared how Jesus met places of fear and pain that more effort alone had not reached. Janis reflects on how motherhood brought buried hurt and a need to protect and control into view. Through Leanne Payne’s ministry, she began to experience God’s love and forgiveness in parts of her heart she had kept closed.

Drew went to a conference expecting to learn how to help others. Instead, an encounter with God as “Everlasting Father” met his own fear around fatherhood. He called his wife, Suz, to say he felt ready to become a father—unaware that she was at home wondering how to tell him she might be pregnant.

Their story invites us to ask where Jesus wants to meet us in our own unfinished places. Receiving God’s care is not the end of discipleship; it is part of how we learn to walk differently with Him.
