Send us Fan MailYou can memorize Scripture as a kid, know all the standards, and still end up staring over the fence wondering what life looks like on the other side. JJ Calvio did exactly that. He grew up in church, competed in Bible quizzing, and says the Word he hid in his heart became the very thing that kept pulling him back when his choices took him farther than he ever planned to go.JJ lost both parents to COVID within weeks, and that loss cracked open a deeper emotional life and a renewed hunger for God, even when churches weren’t meeting normally. We unpack why coming back doesn’t have to mean flipping a switch overnight, how Bible quizzing and coaching kids reshaped his faith, and the moment “commitment” became more than just avoiding certain sins.Support the showPartner with us : https://www.theredeemedbackslider.orgFollow us on Insta & Facebook: The Redeemed BacksliderKathy has three books out and they can be found on Amazon or Barnes & Noble online:"Where Did That Come From?"
