From Bar Brawler to God's Warrior (Dusty)

Scripture:
Date: 10/11/2022 
Dusty loved violence. He fought as a cage fighter and as a boxer. By 18, he was addicted to alcohol and had already been to jail for beating a man. He got married and had a couple of kids,
but his job—and the fighting—kept him away from his family. Dusty’s wife was furious. She said, “Either come home and be a father—or get out of our lives.” And then she left with the kids. Dusty was deeply unhappy. “Eventually, I called and asked her to come home and read the Bible with me.” But the Bible made little sense to him. One day Dustin gave God an ultimatum, “God, if you exist, if you’re real, you’ve got to speak to me in this book.” God answered that prayer, speaking to Dusty through Genesis 1. He went online for answers—and found Amazing Facts broadcasts. He was so enthusiastic about what he was learning that he soon had 30 people studying the Bible with him every Saturday. These days, Dusty is fighting other battles. “‘You’re a born fighter,’ God told me, ‘and I have called you to fight for me.’ My goal is to reach as many souls as humanly possible with the message of Christ and His righteousness.
