The Redeemed Man
You Don’t Have to Be Everything to Everybody
Jeremy Simmons thought he had everything—he had a fast-paced career, he was “planting” a new church, he had a successful wife and two beautiful daughters. But when his marriage fell apart, he says he felt “like I was watching the towers of my life fall down around me.” Moving back in with his parents and starting over was a humbling experience, but when he stopped trying to control everything and just let God carry him, Jeremy saw a glimmer of hope. Now remarried with a big blended family and working an exciting career in the healthcare industry, Jeremy has learned a lot from his experience—and in this week’s podcast with Nate Dewberry, he’s eager to share it with our listeners.
