Cancer. Plant Explosion. Massive auto accident. All that and more, yet God still blessed him. How could anyone cope with everything and still come out shouting praise? Every time he turned around, there was a new test, a new trial. Will Jason be able to stay focused on God instead of the valleys of life? “Jason’s life journey has definitely been a journey of faith. The true test of faith is seen when we face down the challenges that life can bring. For a diamond to become a precious gem it must stay under the chisel, and for gold to be purified it has to remain in the fire. Jason’s life experiences have definitely put him ‘under the chisel’ and ‘through the fire.’ Through it all Jason remains constant in his walk with Christ and stronger than ever in his faith. Reading Jason’s book is both challenging and inspiring. I am blessed to have Jason in my life as a ministry partner and a friend. Though the future is unknown and the next chapter has yet to be written in Jason’s life whatever comes his way I know where I will find him. He will be loving, serving and growing in Christ!” —Mike Chandler, senior pastor, Journey Church “Cancer (the most feared word today ), blown up, bitten by a black widow spider, a life-threatening car wreck, colitis, and all of the pain that accompanies each one of these would cause most of us to question, if not lose our faith. But Jason’s faith, like the slow process of forging steel, gets ever stronger. Thank you for sharing this chapter of your inspirational life story Jason. When I find myself in times of trouble I will remember this Job-like journey. As for me, I'm looking for an opportunity to help someone ‘get their ice cream’!” —Butch Stewart, youth leader, Hickory Church of God
