One Voice Makes A Difference with Janet Swanson


Jun 3, 2024

Have you ever asked this question? Why?

Why can’t I overcome this anxiety, depression, these constant thoughts of hurting myself?

Why am I willing to risk and even forsake my family for drugs?

Why can’t I stop overeating, stop watching porn, stop gossiping?

Why do I hate certain people?

Why can’t I forgive?

Why am I holding on to so much resentment, bitterness, and envy?

Why am I jealous of the success of others?

Why is my desire to be rich, powerful, and successful stronger than my desire to be a godly husband and father? 

Ron found a porn magazine in his neighbor's garbage at 4. He started sniffing gas at 5 and fighting in the 3rd grade. A great-uncle molested him at around 9 or 10. He started stealing candy and selling it at school at 12. He started selling drugs at 14.

WHY AND HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? After all he was a pastor’s kid, raised by good parents, raised being taught the Word of God, had multiple powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit as a child and as a teenager.

But he was broken, and the enemy exploited the pain, the hurt, the trauma, and the abuse and created an egotistical, self-centered tyrant, which made me successful in the World but worthless in the Kingdom of God.

He was booted out of the Army for fighting and went to work, earning over 100k a year as an industrial radiographer. He opened a business at 28 and was a multi-millionaire within a year. He lost the company due to his drug addiction. He went to work in the car business, moved up fast, and within 18 months, He was averaging over 30k a month. He lost that job due to his drug addiction. He committed bank fraud, got caught, and spent 26 months in Federal Prison. And this is where he began to unpack his “Why!”
