Expanding your search and stopping for directions podcast welcomes a real champion to overcoming addiction and erasing mistakes of the past, Blake Hagin to the show. Blake Hagin was set to tackle the world with plans to become a Marine and settle into life like any other normal teenager. That was until mistakes, bad company, and wrong choices landed Blake in Jail. This is where the lessons he learned about God from his Great Grandfather, THE Kenneth E. Hagin, his grandfather Kenneth Hagin, Jr. and father Craig Hagin became clear. Blake couldn't ride on their coat tales. He needed his own walk with God. Blake's story is one of redemption and making the most of a second chance. In our talk, Blake and I discuss his story, the lessons he learned, the steps he has taken to overcome, and how God has blessed him with a new life, spiritually, and a new life now with a new wife, new business, and a new ministry. So many people have allowed mistakes of the past to dominate their present and their future, but the past is the past, and today and the future are yours for the taking.
