Episode description

Do you have someone in your life you like to spend time with to grow in wisdom? For me, one of those amazing people is Robby Gallaty. Robby is the lead pastor at Long Hollow Baptist Church. Growing up, Robby battled a drug addiction that ravaged his life. A $180 a day heroin and cocaine addiction forced him to steal $15,000 from his parents. After living without gas, electricity, and water for months, losing 8 of his friends to drug related deaths, watching 6 friends arrested, and completing two rehab treatments, Robby remembered the gospel that was shared with him by a friend in college and was radically saved on November 12, 2002. Eight months later, David Platt, a seminary student and church member at the time, asked Robby to meet weekly for accountability, prayer, and bible study. For the next 2 years, David installed a passion for missions, expository preaching, and disciple-making in his life. You will be so inspired by Robby's story, and wisdom today.
