TESTIMONY TUESDAY
My name is Jose Inis Rodriguez. I was born in 1974 in Houston, Texas, and raised in South Texas. Growing up, life at home was good until I chose the wrong crowd and experimented with drugs.
What started as a choice became an addiction. That addiction led me to do things I deeply regret. It cost me three trips to the penitentiary and took away half of my adult life. Even after all of that, I still didn’t learn. I went through multiple programs, but nothing truly changed because my heart hadn’t changed.
My addiction almost cost me my marriage. My wife, who is battling cancer, deserved better but I was lost. I lost my job. I hit rock bottom.
And in that broken place, I finally looked up and cried out to God for help.
That’s when Project Hope happened.
Now, I’m learning who God really is. I’m learning what it means to walk in relationship with Him and to truly fear the Lord. For the first time, I’m experiencing real transformation not just behavior modification, but heart change.
As it says in John 3:16,
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
I am living proof that God’s love reaches into the darkest places. I’m excited to see what He has in store for my life as I continue this journey with Him and Project Hope.
God is not finished with me yet. 🙌
