Light in the Darkness

THE BOYS ARE BACK. After a six-month break, the podcast returns with a powerful conversation featuring Jeff Taylor. Jeff grew up in deep Pentecostal roots, where church wasn’t an event—it was a way of life. From the time he was seven, he had his first encounter with Jesus, and from that moment forward, the supernatural wasn’t something unusual, it was the air he breathed.Jeff shares how those early encounters shaped him, from watching entire congregations fall silent under the weight of God’s presence to serving as a twelve-year-old usher in massive crusades where the sick were healed before his eyes. His story carries the theme that intimacy with the Lord is more than tradition—it’s the foundation for every prophetic word, every miracle, and every calling.This episode also dives into the distractions of our modern world. Jeff points out how technology, noise, and the rush of life often pull us away from the very moments where God wants to meet us. Whether it’s in a church service, in the grocery store, or alone in prayer, he emphasizes learning to still the mind and listen. “If He can die for me, I can put my phone down for a little while,” he says.The conversation culminates with a striking vision of the judgment seat of Christ. Jeff recalls the story of books and scrolls tested by fire—some burning to ashes, others transformed into gold and crowns. It’s a vivid reminder that what we do for ourselves will not last, but what we do in obedience to Jesus carries eternal weight. This episode challenges listeners to live for the “well done, good and faithful servant” and to set their eyes on eternal reward above earthly success.Support the showCheck out our website:litdpod.comSubscribe to our Patreon:Patreon.com/litdpodMerch you say?Say less.litdpod.com/storeSocials:Instagram - @litd.podFacebook.com/litdpodTikTok - litdpodPrayer Requests?

While away on their sabbatical, the boys invite you to listen to this episode featuring their reflections on its significance._________________________________________________________________The boys are joined by Brandon Sanders, Lead Pastor & Executive Director of the Wings of Life, a faith-based addiction recovery center in Mobile, AL. When he was a child, Brandon’s father murdered his mother. He was then placed in a “Christian” foster family where he and his sisters were abused. Brandon walked away from these traumatic events believing that God hated him, and he turned to drug addiction to cope. After 20 years of addiction, Brandon was prepared to end his life one night. After checking into a motel and getting drunk, Brandon began screaming at God and venting a lifetime worth of hurt and rage. At some point he collapsed and told God that he wanted to know Him. It was then that Brandon felt as if God wrapped him in an embrace and took Brandon in as his son.Brandon then sought treatment for his addiction, and came to the same center that he now directs. The Lord has given Brandon a mantle for finding fatherless men, and the message that God wants to be their Father.Along the way, Brandon shares testimonies of lives he has witnessed the Lord impact. Lives that were saved from addiction, broken belief systems, and flawed identity.To contact the Wings of Life to seek help for yourself or a loved one:www.wings-of-life.orgFacebook Instagram: @4wingsoflifeSee Brandon’s testimony as told on the 700 ClubSupport the showCheck out our website:litdpod.comSubscribe to our Patreon:Patreon.com/litdpodMerch you say?Say less.litdpod.com/storeSocials:Instagram - @litd.podFacebook.com/litdpodTikTok - litdpodPrayer Requests?
