Summary

Join Victor for a conversation with musician, Joseph Rojas. Jospeh grew up in the housing projects of Victoria, Texas, where gunfire and sirens echoed through the neighborhood. But, for Joseph, the rough streets became a refuge from the nightmare from his home life. He tried to commit suicide following a cocaine binge, and became a Christian while being taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Joseph shares a powerful testimony of redemption from coming out of the trauma of an abusive household, anxiety, drugs and addiction and coming to Christ, being renewed along with God restoring his relationship with his father. He is also the founder of Christian rock band, Seventh Day Slumber.
