I"m a 60 plus year old woman and have not experienced the situations and hardship that this young man is talking about. However. this is one of the best interviews that I listened to. This young man will be used greatly by God to reach his generation.
Yes! I'm at minute 35 & thinking...if you have not lived a similar life and ever doubted being kept by the Father, this is your cue to worship a God that has been nothing but faithful & good!
I’m flabbergasted by this amazing interview. I’m 62 and this is one of the most beautiful testimonies I have ever seen. It’s so real how God meets us where we are and transforms everything for His own purposes. WOW!
All I can say about this interview to God be all the glory he knows what he's all about he's not about religion is about God Jesus and his love a lot of churchgoer need to listen to this because you got it is about Jesus is about relationship an encounter if you have never had an encounter you are not safe Moss Avenue encounter just like the woman at the well forgetting into the habit of just going to church and getting into church but you must have an encounter with God there's an experience and there is a testimony talk about God come see a man that tell me all things about my life I bought myself that's what is demonstrating❤❤❤ we celebrate him and we pray that God will cover him is almond dangerous with God's word so we plead the blood over him blood coverage over his whole life🎉
We are truly enjoying this interview and also become inspired seeing the Divine from God he makes me want to shout hallelujah I'm so happy for this young man this is what Jesus is looking for from us simplifying the word of God preach it simply not putting on anything else you see how much it is effective when he speaks because God is in it God is in it thank you future wifey for bringing him on that I could able to hear him you need to bring him back I did enjoy❤❤❤❤
This was worth every minute. He said "people ask why i'm so radical? Because I'm tired of being deceived". God has anointed him for a people and a place. He is a voice for this generation. Thanks for sharing his story on this platform. May God continue to bless him and this podcast for reflecting God in such a beautiful way.
It started off shaky..but the LORD prevailed and this was a EXCELLENT interview!!! God uses many vessels and many messengers. I love it!!! Thanks for taking a chance on this interview. What a testimony 🙏🏽
True. Maybe It started off shaky b/c he didn't like the way he was introduced. His point was that we all have sinned and come short of his glory. Nobody's past is worse than others so to insinuate that his past was just "out there" as an introduction is a little distasteful although it was used as a set up for him to tell his testimony. So I can understand both sides.
I just started the interview and I don’t like how it started off either. We all have a testimony and all of us have sinned . Our story may not look exactly like his but we have a story to tell like he does. Looking forward to the rest of the interview
I had to CONTINUALLY remind myself this young man is ONLY 27 years old! Displaying the type of wisdom ONLY GOD can give. I began watching this young man's testimony back in 2019 or 2020 from the day he recorded himself in tears after repenting, which was SO heart felt and SO powerful. I would find myself praying for him that he would continue in his walk with the LORD, and then suddenly, his videos stopped. I was so disappointed and heartbroken. I can not explain the JOY felt when I stumbled upon THIS episode! This man's Testimony is TRULY a BLESSING FROM GOD. Especially to hear he is sharing it in juvenile detention centers, prisons, and other places...MY LORD! We MUST CONTINUE to LIFT BOTH of these young men UP and COVER them in PRAYER because the adversary certainly doesn't want them to continue in THE WORK OF THE LORD and prosper. Thank you, Laterras, for allowing GOD (your Publicist) to share THIS ONE! - Elterese Elie
I would like all the viewers to know that 98% of young black children that appear to be bad or acting out have experienced a great deal of trauma without the emotional capacity to handle it. I loved his testimony because this is so many of the kids/teens where I live in Chicago. Prayers for his continued growth and influence. This was a true blessing to watch ❤🙏🏽
Also our kids are filled with demons and negative principalities. When we walk with Jesus and die to ourselves those evils quiver at the sound of Jesus Christ voice. So when you walk with him earnestly and honestly they are defeated. Our babies deserve The gift of God, to know who is worthy of praise and who has unfailing love for them. Jesus Christ the Lord saves and restores.
The wording, “you were out there bad,” from a psychological standpoint was a trigger for John Hill because he heard “judgement.” In reality He probably remembered the story of when Jesus wrote in the sand while saying “ He who is without sin cast the first stone”. Which is why he responded in saying, “I’m not the only one,” everyone out there has experience something or has not been saved their whole life. This is example of spiritual conflict between condemnation of flesh and the renewal of a more righteous spirit! He was in conflict spiritually or it can be look at as an example of spiritual warfare because he was triggered by past trauma surrounding the sadness he felt. When he thought about how bad he treated people in the past, but like he said, “Jesus took that part of his life or the guilt away when he was on the top bunk of the jail cell….”
Yeah I thought that was an odd statement but I think laterras meant ‘out there publicly On social media’ I’m not sure exactly. But I would’ve responded the same way as John like ‘uhm we all were wilding before Christ in some way shape or form’
Yes, we as followers of Jesus shall take no offense at all from what others say because it matters NOT. It is Jesus that has delivered us from the pits of hell it is Jesus who we must be judged by. As in the new days it is what it is he still has growth in his journey he still has life to live and let’s us praise God for his holiness and gloriousness have mercy on us all Lord.
I didn’t read everything but I agree with the part he heard judgement & I also think he didn’t want to be rude or even react to the interviewer in a certain way. Overall that he is not that person anymore. He doesn’t resonate with that past person. For years I use to be in an abus**** relationship and if I think back too far rather than only making that statement because I’m not that person anymore and will never let anyone say that’s who I am. It was just apart of my journey.
Glad to see him on the podcast 🙌🏽💯 this has been one of the best podcast episodes to date.. simply because of His story !!! God uses those we disqualify!
I remember seeing him doing an interview as his former self, talking out of his mind, and waving a gun, and I felt so sad for him. You could tell that there was more to him inside. I said a little prayer for him then that he would be different. I can't believe what I'm witnessing now. I'm so happy for him! God is so good! I pray for this transformation for every young man/ woman who may be lost right now. We ALL can do better. Life is real, God is real-er❤❤❤💯.
Wow, I have to say, this interview didn't begin on the best note. I was tempted to quickly scroll past and move on, but I am incredibly grateful that I stuck around. In all honesty, this is easily one of the most captivating interviews I have ever come across. The wisdom and insights shared by this young man are truly valuable and insightful - I can't wait to watch it again. Thank you so much for bravely sharing your amazing testimony.
I know that many think he’s playing Christian for views, but when you hear him talk you can tell he’s dead serious. I’m mad that it took me this long to watch. I’m halfway through and blown away.
Don’t judge a book by his cover. I remember seeing John’s initial interactions on the internet, now, a true 180. I love to see it. I was thoroughly impressed and moved by his reconciliation with self.
Laterras Don't worry about how long these interviews take. The gems are sooo deep! This was a good interview. And yes, it was rough in the beginning. As he began to open up, God kept him to pour into us. I pray he continues to break the chains for boys (and girls). His testimony about his heartfelt relationship with his dad(stepdad), his estranged relationship with his mom, poor decisions which still gave him an ear to hear the lord. Priceless! It is reminder for those of us who had encounters through the holy spirit to be molded in the clay.
This is by far one of the best interviews I have watched in a long time This man wasn't trying to sell anything. Just promote Jesus Christ and love. It was the best two and a half hours watched. I pray he stay in the Way and find his good this, wife. Thank you Laterras for introducing him to me and thos platform.
He is a true reflection of “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The old has past away, behold all things become new” (2 Cor 5:17). I loved every ounce of this🎉. He humbly let us know in the intro that the old him is dead❤. Then gave a heartfelt testimony of salvation, grace, redemption, & God’s love 💗, connecting us to what it looks like when you are raised to LIFE in Christ 🌬️. Lord, bless him and keep him! There was so much depth to this convo that we all needed to hear. Truly Refreshing 🙌🏾.
I was not ready for this. At all. John is extremely emotionally intelligent and hilariously real. With all that he has been through, he’s a shining example of the redemption of GOD. Thank You for this, Laterras🌻
That young man has an AWESOME testimony! At the beginning, I was saying to myself "Laterras, what are you doing!". I won't doubt you again Bruh. I totally respect that young man💯💪🏾
From all the podcasts I have watched, this is my most favorite, so funny he reminds me of my nephew with the way he speaks (South Africa). 😀 JESUS SAVES!! This is a profound testimony and I pray that God sends him his life partner according to His will. Watching it again for the 2nd time today! Brilliant interview and I love his life story as traumatic as it was, God used it for His good!! Be blessed all of you!
This interview was so necessary! The ability to articulate a God experience is challenging in itself. The way he talks about his journey is a literal gift. 🥺❤️
I’ve watched John before so glad to see him on here! He’s usually very serious when he talks about Jesus. He does NOT play. Rightfully so. This is the first time I’ve seen him laugh and be light hearted. This is proof to me that he has reached a new level of healing. Happy for him and rooting for him. May he continue to heal and bring more people, especially the youngings that have a similar background to Christ. 🙏🏼
This was my favorite interview. This young man is so wise beyond his years. There were things he expressed that I never had words for that immediately clicked in my head. What a moving powerful interview. I laughed , cried and left feeling inspired.
This was one of the ABSOLUTE BEST shows. Many may not realize it’s but we needed to see this young man being unapologetic about his walk with Christ. Thank you for being obedient in how you represent Jesus in this show!
This interview blessed me like you wouldn't believe! This young man's testimony will help change the mindset of some and transform the lives of others. I heard someone say, "The greater the opposition, the greater the anointing." This interview is evidence of that statement. God is awesome, and he can do ANYTHING with and through ANYBODY.
Listening to this young mans testimony gives me so much hope. I've been praying for my sons salvation and that he'll have a supernatural encounter with Jesus so that he can fully surrender his life to the Lord. I pray that this brotha will continue to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring those outside of Christ to a radical relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you LT for having this Powerful man of God on your show.
This young man has a transparency that will be beneficial to the world. If more of us would pay attention to our vices, and move with intention toward Christ with every aspect of our lives, we would change the world. He knows his issues, and he knows that to keep them in check he must bring them before Jesus. That’s faith!! We die daily to self, and we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. Thank you for bringing him on. 🙏🏾💯🙏🏾
I can see that he really tries his best and John is a great example of what Jesus Christ can do for you and your life. I know he will be a great God given husband and everything his wife prays for. 🙏🏾🥰
I remember praying for him before he went to jail and it’s such a blessing to see how God has used his story to bless and bring so many others to Christ.
This is one of the most touching interviews. I have heard in 51 years. It’s powerful goes to show you what God can do when we finally surrender to His plan for us. He doesn’t give up on us easy.
Every guest that sits on that couch is Laterras bestie for 2 hours. He is so present and locked in. He never skips a beat and his heart is so tender. #SafeSpace
Look at God 🥹😭🙌🏽 Gloryyyyyy!!!! These kinds testimonies change the world and bring the lost, hurt, broken,hopeless, etc. to Jesus Christ. God kept him, oh thank you Jesus 🙌🏽 Experiencing healing is one of the sweetest gifts that our Heavenly Father gives us. He loves us. He never forgets about us. We are reaching a time where it’s becoming vital to bring back revival, tent church, old school gospel music, choirs, and hymns. Have church outside again, block party style to reach the streets, the homeless, etc. If they won’t come to us then we go to them. Nobody will ever convince me that God hasn’t given the black church the cheat code to sway the culture for Him and His glory. I know it. I feel it. I love this interview so much and may God bless him in his ministry so good. This was powerful. Thank you so much Laterras. You did that, this interview 🔥 Keep your mind stayed on God. It’s all going to be worth it sooner than later. I’m happy you brought the letter reading back too 💯🩵🙏🏽
I’m less than 1 minute this man is humble & authentic. He didn’t pretend to remember y’all’s convo & he knows he’s not the only person that God has saved in the same situation ❤ I’m excited for the rest of this interview
Wow, it brought me to tears to see how good God truly is and how he can truly change someone's life in such a short period as soon as they call on him. This was powerful, and as a 31-year-old woman, I definitely had preconceived notions when I saw him based on his past. After hearing him speak about his love for Christ, his journey and his mindset I was absolutely amazed with how transformed he truly is. Incredible work brother 👏🏽 I fully support your journey and have already shared this video with others! ❤🎉🙋🏽♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽
This is probably the most important guest on the entire podcast. The story of the friend that died and asking God to forgive the person who shot him before dying gave me chills.
This young man’s testimony is powerful! It needs to be shared! I’ve cried and laughed. I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you Laterras for allowing him to be free!
Started off slow, but I just could not stop watching! There was just something good I knew was coming. It's so good to hear how he talks about his encounter with God. This episode will impact so many individuals and I thank God for this!
This is the best by far!!!! You can see, discern and feel his transformation! This was emotional and encouraging for me to watch because my son has tatted his and most people say “it’s over for him” but I believe God! The seed of the righteous shall be DELIVERED! This added fuel to my fire!
His testimony 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🥺🥺🥺. I love how God uses your bad for good and He gets the Glory. That new age spirituality had me googling and searching through TikTok at the beginning of my journey yet something just wasn’t right. I had the chakra book, a couple of crystals and was just trying to find my way. I used to use that term “Spiritual journey.” BUT GOD 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. My encounters with God were so real, the presence of God was full of love and gentleness. I’ve been on my journey with Christ for 5yrs and man, each day, each moment God just keeps revealing Himself and myself
This brother's heart is so pure, you can see it and hear it in his voice. I cried twice during this interview and I'm so glad you provided a safe place for him to tell his story!
This was very touching and powerful! A lot of young people and old people as well need to hear his story! He can reach the masses with is story!!!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥🙏🙏
This was a great episode. Started a little shakey but once the young man saw that it was a safe place he was able to open up and share his testimony. Thank you Mr. Whitfield for creating that safe space.
Holy Gabanna….what an amazing testimony! I could listen to you speak for hours!! I’m so glad you heard the call and are a walking living testimony for the kingdom! You have inspired me in so many ways! God bless you and thank you for sharing your story with the world! Most powerful interview I’ve ever watched…
Thank you for sharing this young man's testimony. His faith is amazing. I pray God continues to order his step and direct his path. May God bless him with a wife this year.
I was just drawn to hear this story. Never heard of this king. Now I’m so convinced that nothing is TOO HARD for God. I see how he was working for this king. What a mighty God we serve.
This has been one of the most REAL, transparent, authentic, genuine, NEEDED interviews for such a time as this! God is truly amazing, and everything that He allows us to go through prepares and equips us for our purpose and for the souls that He assigns on our journey, to plant the seed, water, so that God, Jesus and His Holy Spirit can implement the increase. I thank God for this platform, the safe space, and the transparency. This was absolutely amazing! ❤❤❤❤❤
This interview has me in tears. Tears of heartbreak for this man and also tears of elation knowing his testimony. Whewww one of the best interviews I've seen in a while.
This blessed me thoroughly. About broke in tongues in the office multiple times. I’m just in awe of how far and deep God will go to get and deliver His own. Amazing love ♥️
I love that God has transformed his life. This was a great interview. His voice needs to be heard in our schools. What a good interview. Major gems dropped. 💎
This interview was long, but worth every minute!! (Easily one of your best interviews) It's clear the Lord gave this young man a double portion of wisdom when he decided to let go of the foolishness of this world... Sooo many gems dropped💎 🔥 May the Lord continue to get the glory in Holy Gabbana's life 🙏. Looking forward to a future interview when he finds his God-ordained wife! 😃
What a testimony! Protect this man of God Lord. Send your angels to war on his behalf. Give him wisdom and discernment to help him navigate through his new life. Let him always seek first the Kingdom of God. Put even more godly friends in his path that are sold out for You and help him to be sold out for You for the rest of his days as he does the work you are calling him to, in Jesus name. 🙏🏼 Jude 1:20-25
I was nervous in the beginning but continued to watch. Thank God for this interview. When he said "why don't I have that same compassion for myself" I stopped the video. That truly hit me and it confirmed what the Lord showed me 2 weeks ago. I then asked for a confirmation and got it here. Having faith, conviction, and compassion for others encouraging them in the Lord no matter their past has always come easy for me. However, for myself I would always think differently. Wow... thank you. I LOVE this. GOD bless both of you and may God cover and keep you two on your journey of helping others to be free from the trauma that keeps them from moving forward. Bound and stuck in a cycle of hurt and reliving the past. 🙏 Now let me resume the video 😊
This guy got me glued to My TV watching this episode! He is the true definition of "Saved by grace"! May God continue to elevate you brother! Praise God!!!
This is the best interview so far. See God transform this young man to a man of God to fulfill purpose. You are a strong man John. May God protect you, grant you good health and longlife. You are a blessing to this generation🙏🙏🙏
I’m right now listening to the testimony of how the young man was in “ heaven “ or wherever and he was surrounded by so much Love and that everyone there was just Loving on him!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. So many castles. Too many to number! Jesus is real bro!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Listen, the way I am sobbing…sobbing! I had a whole paragraph that I planned to write here. All that needs to be said is that God is so good and I am deeply humbled and grateful that He has found me. Much love to LT and John ❤
I’ll never get tired of hearing his testimony over and over and over again. - used to watch his Boonk Gang videos in the past. It’s amazing how God works
When I encounter a born again spirit filled Christian our main focus and conversation is about my Jesus. Time is not a factor and Boredom never enters in. When you have an actual encounter, experience and or vivet dream or vision you cannot forget or stop talking about him. He is so real and tangible and he's patient. Repentance and reading the mind of God daily through his word is critical to your walk and success in this journey 🙏🏾
Wow! This young man's testimony is AMAZING!! He is truly on fire for God and there is good reason for it! My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. It did start off a little rocky but, Laterras, you kept it from going left! This is a gift that God has blessed you with. This is another episode I will share with my son! I pray God blesses John with the wife who will be his helpmeet in his ministry and not a hindrance! He is truly on assignment from God. Your letters are so beautiful Your wife will also be your helpmeet in this ministry God has blessed you with. 💞💕
This interview was the best way to go into the 2nd half of the year! Thought provoking,emotional, real, funny, honest and so so much more! Thank you Jesus for both of your sons and their obedience. I’m so filled with love, hope and the truth of our savior after this testimony!!! ❤
One of my best episodes yet! These are the kind of transformational stories the world needs to hear. The kind of testimonies that should be shared in churches. God bless him ❤️.
Do you bear fruit??? C'mon, that's the whole reason and your process begins, THANK YOU LORD for saved cellmates who are still able to do Your will even behind prison walls 🙌🙌🙌 THANK YOU FOR SAVING HIM🙌🙌🙌💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🙌🙌🙌👑👑👑
