## Resource

Today we’re honored to welcome back three-time guest Stephen McWhirter — a Dove Award–winning and Grammy-nominated worship leader whose life powerfully testifies to the redemptive love of Jesus. Once a drug addict who hated Christ and Christians, Stephen encountered the transforming presence of God and went from brokenness to radical restoration. His global worship anthem Come Jesus Come has reached millions and earned him a Grammy nomination alongside CeCe Winans and The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, and now his new book, Radically Restored: How Knowing Jesus Heals Our Brokenness, shares his full journey of addiction, encounter, and unshakable faith — all with one mission: to point people to the real, living Jesus who changes everything. Welcome Stephen McWhirter! @stephenmcwhirter worshipjesus.life @christianmusicguys christianmusicguys.com
