  Ron Meyers: And Rodney, what in the world is your story?
• 1:34
  Rodney Williams: Well, as a young child.
• 1:35
  Rodney Williams: Of course my mom and them took me to church.
• 1:37
  Rodney Williams: But at a young age, being sexually molested by a sick man, and I turned to this Jesus they had told me about and God spoke to me.
• 1:44
  Rodney Williams: I had childlike faith.
• 1:45
  Rodney Williams: God spoke to me.
• 1:46
  Rodney Williams: He told me that he would protect me and one day I would preach his word.
• 1:49
  Rodney Williams: And of course I had hurts, pains and issues, and drugs and alcohol become my solution and it numbed the pain, made me forget about it.
• 1:59
  Rodney Williams: And the Bible says pleasure sends for a season.
• 2:01
  Rodney Williams: It was fun, we had a good time, you know.
• 2:04
  Rodney Williams: But you know I always tell people you know you can choose to jump out of a 10-story window, but you can't choose your consequences when you hit the ground.
• 2:11
  Rodney Williams: Through many car wrecks, in and out of jail, broken marriage, just a life of destruction, you know, is what addiction led me into.
• 2:19
  Rodney Williams: And this is over 20 years of addiction.
• 2:22
  Rodney Williams: My whole life was centered around the drugs and alcohol, the party life.
• 2:26
  Rodney Williams: That was my whole life, it was my God, that's what I was pursuing, that's what I was seeking.
• 2:33
  Rodney Williams: And then rehabs.
• 2:34
  Rodney Williams: I went to different rehabs, went to the Home of Grace one time Left out of there Went back into meth.
• 2:42
  Rodney Williams: Meth was a big thing, methamphetamines Going 10 or more days without eating or sleeping.
• 2:47
  Rodney Williams: I always tell people on uh, on meth, you are fasting to the devil.
• 2:49
  Rodney Williams: You know saying when you're not eating, you're not sleeping.
• 2:51
  Rodney Williams: Open up the gates, your mind and becoming one with the demonic realm.
• 2:54
  Rodney Williams: But uh, june 19, 2002 is what changed everything.
• 2:58
  Rodney Williams: I'd lost everything, lost my home, lost.
• 3:00
  Rodney Williams: My job was just going from place to place cooking the methamphetamines.
• 3:04
  Rodney Williams: Uh, and this night, uh, I'm in a small trailer, the fumes had built up and in my mind there's police in the trees, police under the trailer, just geeking out, you know, and just want to get high, but I'm not going to get any higher than what I already am.
• 3:18
  Rodney Williams: And as I'm cooking the meth and the fumes had built up and no ventilation, a spark went off the heat lamp and the whole trailer ignites.
• 3:26
  Rodney Williams: And then I'm trying to get out of the trailer.
• 3:28
  Rodney Williams: You know what I'm saying, because I had the doors bolted down because of fear and paranoia.
• 3:32
  Rodney Williams: I run outside when the doors come open with second, third-degree burns.
• 3:36
  Rodney Williams: At 2 o'clock in the morning, I'm waking these people up and they're shocked.
• 3:40
  Rodney Williams: I'm standing there all burnt up and throw a blanket around me and began rushing me to the hospital.
• 3:45
  Rodney Williams: All the times I've been in and out of jail, I'd always cry out to God.
• 3:48
  Rodney Williams: I always believed in God.
• 3:49
  Rodney Williams: I believe in one God that'll do us well.
• 3:51
  Rodney Williams: The devils also believe in trouble.
• 3:52
  Rodney Williams: I always tell people I wanted to go to heaven.
• 3:54
  Rodney Williams: I just wanted to live like hell.
• 3:55
  Rodney Williams: I made professions of faith, I got baptized as a kid, but I had no intention of turning from my sin and trusting Christ, you know.
• 4:03
  Rodney Williams: And I never got born again.
• 4:04
  Rodney Williams: I never became a child of God because I had no true repentance.
• 4:07
  Rodney Williams: But this night things was different.
• 4:09
  Rodney Williams: I hated the life that I was living, the things that I thought would satisfy me.
• 4:13
  Rodney Williams: That did not and I cried out to God.
• 4:16
  Rodney Williams: I said God, you can take my eye, ear, whatever you want, whatever's left, I'm going to serve you.
• 4:20
  Rodney Williams: And I made an unconditional surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ that night and that's where God's regeneration took place.
• 4:26
  Rodney Williams: I became a child of God that night and that's where God began the journey of my life.
• 4:31
  Rodney Williams: Second, third degree burns.
• 4:33
  Rodney Williams: I got the skin grafts, wound care at South Alabama Burn Center and I said God, I'm too weak to do this, but I'll do anything you tell me to do.
• 4:41
  Rodney Williams: And God spoke to me just as plain as day, just like when I was a little kid.
• 4:44
  Rodney Williams: He spoke to me for the first time and told me to go back to the home of grace.
• 4:49
  Rodney Williams: And I went back to the home of grace and that's where God began to triumph for me, change me.
• 4:54
  Rodney Williams: I always tell people it's like I was 37 years old with a bucket full of dirt, the washing of the water of the word, taking a water hose and going and allowing that water to go in the dirt, and the dirt begins to come out.
• 5:03
  Rodney Williams: Come out, come out.
• 5:04
  Rodney Williams: Eventually got clear, clean water.
• 5:05
  Rodney Williams: That's what God does with you.
• 5:07
  Rodney Williams: Through the washing of the water of his word, the transformation was taking place.
• 5:11
  Rodney Williams: And then one night, I got filled with the Holy Spirit and I realized my goodness, this is what I've been looking for all my life, you know so you literally blew up to meet Jesus, amen, and you did it in an ambulance.
• 5:25
  Ron Meyers: Now, how did your family and your friends react to this?
• 5:30
  Rodney Williams: Well, even though I was born again a child of God, I got to the hospital.
• 5:33
  Rodney Williams: I always tell people it took three days to get Israel out of Egypt, 40 years in the wilderness to get Egypt out of them.
• 5:39
  Rodney Williams: I'm still full of the world.
• 5:40
  Rodney Williams: So I'm still cussing.
• 5:41
  Rodney Williams: I'm about to wear the morphine button.
• 5:43
  Rodney Williams: Now no change is taking place.
• 5:50
  Rodney Williams: But I had really given my life to the Lord and I'm saying I give my blankety-blank life to Jesus and they're yeah, right, we've heard that before.
• 5:54
  Rodney Williams: So they didn't have a whole lot of confidence in what I was saying, you know.
• 5:57
  Ron Meyers: But God had a plan for you the whole time, and I think that's what is so important.
• 6:01
  Ron Meyers: I try to emphasize every week, through this show and through my guests, that we can have all the hell in our life that we can possibly imagine, and more on top of it, but God will search and search and knock at our door and he will find us and try to say, hey, I need you.
• 6:18
  Ron Meyers: And he never gives up on us, does he?
• 6:20
  Ron Meyers: Yes?
• 6:21
  Rodney Williams: that's right.
• 6:21
  Rodney Williams: And, like I said he told me, as a young child I preach his word and I've been preaching his word for some 22 years now.
• 6:27
  Rodney Williams: So God is faithful, you know, and I didn't.
• 6:31
  Rodney Williams: I had no hope.
• 6:34
  Rodney Williams: I mean it was.
• 6:35
  Rodney Williams: I remember the promise God had made me, but I was so in such darkness there was no way that God could ever bring me out of it.
• 6:38
  Ron Meyers: And he did when I fully surrendered to my will and my plans, to his plan, God was able to work with me then.
• 6:47
  Ron Meyers: Well, Rodney, I know you personally and I see what you've done, and we'll talk about your book that you've sent out 100,000 copies in just a little bit.
• 6:52
  Ron Meyers: But how do you maintain your sobriety and continue to grow your faith in this crazy upside down world?
• 7:00
  Rodney Williams: Well, that's through the renewing of the mind, you know, through the Word of God and in the relationship that I have with Christ man, I'm satisfied, I'm complete.
• 7:07
  Rodney Williams: The Bible says, for it pleased the Father, that in him should all fullness dwell.
• 7:10
  Rodney Williams: Jesus is the fullness, the completeness.
• 7:12
  Rodney Williams: Everything we're looking for in the world is found in Christ Jesus, in this relationship, and that's what I found.
• 7:18
  Rodney Williams: Everything I was looking for I found in him.
• 7:20
  Rodney Williams: I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied, I'm complete.
• 7:22
  Rodney Williams: And now I got to stay in the word.
• 7:24
  Rodney Williams: I got to stay in this relationship, just like a husband and wife.
• 7:26
  Rodney Williams: You've got to take her on dates.
• 7:28
  Rodney Williams: You got to spend quality time with your wife, and same thing with Jesus.
• 7:34
  Rodney Williams: You got to spend that quality time with him, to get to know him.
• 7:37
  Rodney Williams: And it takes time, it's a process.
• 7:40
  Ron Meyers: I love to have my coffee with Jesus every morning and I tell people, you know the one thing a lot of us approaching Jesus, they think, well, I have to be in a church or I have to be religious.
• 7:50
  Ron Meyers: And I tell people no, just open up your heart.
• 7:52
  Ron Meyers: If you want to yell, you want to complain, whatever it is, have a conversation with Jesus and then shut up for a few minutes and that still quiet voice will begin speaking and it can change your life, just like it did for me.
• 8:07
  Ron Meyers: He saved me, he saved you.
• 8:09
  Ron Meyers: Amen, and life is good with Jesus isn't it?
• 8:12
  Rodney Williams: Amen, it is.
• 8:14
  Rodney Williams: I can't see how I lived without him all those years, you know.
• 8:17
  Ron Meyers: But if you didn't have all the hell in your life, you couldn't be such a great promoter of Jesus today because you've been there, done that, have the t-shirt and now you're telling people how you got free.
• 8:30
  Ron Meyers: So, speaking on that, what advice would you give someone listening right now that's struggling with addiction and they just don't know what to do and they can't go to home of grace because they have no money?
• 8:42
  Rodney Williams: Yeah, Well, like I said, I searched everything in the world had to offer, tried all the things I thought would satisfy me and come up empty.
• 8:49
  Rodney Williams: And then I know where you're at right now.
• 8:52
  Rodney Williams: You've lost hope.
• 8:53
  Rodney Williams: You've tried many things to get to quit, to change on your own and you just can't do it.
• 8:57
  Rodney Williams: But you've got to come to a point where you just hate, hate the life, hate the sin, and you die from it.
• 9:03
  Rodney Williams: That's when you turn and you cry out to God and just ask him to forgive you and come and be Lord of your life, master your life and come and change you, and he will.
• 9:13
  Rodney Williams: And he begins a process and it is a process of him transforming your change.
• 9:17
  Rodney Williams: I always tell people I'm not where I want to be, but I ain't where I used to be 23 years ago.
• 9:21
  Rodney Williams: I'm a totally different, a new creation in Christ, but used to be 23 years ago.
• 9:27
  Rodney Williams: I'm a totally different, a new creation in Christ, but I'm totally changed from where I was and I'm a work in progress.
• 9:29
  Rodney Williams: You know I'm not perfect, but I'm in the process.
• 9:31
  Ron Meyers: Well, you said something a minute ago that you just have to begin to hate your life.
• 9:36
  Ron Meyers: I say you will.
• 9:37
  Ron Meyers: You don't have to hate your life, because you will begin to hate your life and that is the decision part of your life.
• 9:44
  Ron Meyers: Do you turn to the world, do you turn to Mohammed, do you turn to the Koran or do you turn to Jesus, the name above all names?
• 9:53
  Ron Meyers: And obviously I'm going to promote Jesus 24, seven, every day of the week, because Jesus came to this world for you and I, for all of our listeners, so we could become the person he created us to be.
• 10:08
  Ron Meyers: And I talk about destiny a lot on this show because I believe that we will never be fulfilled, we'll never have peace, we'll never enjoy with the fruits of what God has given us if we don't discover our purpose.
• 10:20
  Ron Meyers: So, rodney Williams, what's your destiny in this world?
• 10:25
  Ron Meyers: Purpose?
• 10:26
  Rodney Williams: So, rodney Williams, what's your destiny in this world?
• 10:28
  Rodney Williams: What's your purpose, rodney Williams?
• 10:30
  Rodney Williams: My purpose is to go out and share the freedom that I found in Christ Jesus.
• 10:31
  Rodney Williams: There's a lost world out here, living in darkness, just like I was, in addiction, just in sin, and they're looking for something.
• 10:40
  Rodney Williams: They just don't know what they're looking for.
• 10:42
  Rodney Williams: And what we're looking for is Jesus.
• 10:43
  Rodney Williams: That was God's plan from the very beginning of the foundation of the world that Jesus, the light of the world, that he would send in to save us from our sin and from the curse that we're all under, and would set us free and give us the liberty, the freedom that we're all looking for, the relationship that we're looking for.
• 10:59
  Rodney Williams: We're all designed to be in relationship with God, you know, and he wants a relationship with every one of us, but he gave us free will that you can choose.
• 11:11
  Rodney Williams: Choose to continue living the way you're living and be miserable, or choose to follow and serve him, and what God has for you is everything you're looking for.
• 11:15
  Rodney Williams: I tell people, after 23 years of serving Jesus, I'm a satisfied customer.
• 11:20
  Ron Meyers: You know, and if you're listening and you wonder about Jesus, you want to know more about Jesus.
• 11:24
  Ron Meyers: Talk to people like Rodney, me and the other thousands of people around you that discover Jesus and ask them how their life is different.
• 11:33
  Ron Meyers: You can only find this from people who personally experience Jesus, and something you did, rodney, is you wrote a book, or maybe even two books, and tell the listeners about this book and how they can get a copy.
• 11:46
  Rodney Williams: Yeah, the first book God told me to write was Club Meth to Christ, and we've printed over 100,000 books.
• 11:52
  Rodney Williams: And then the second book was Once an Addict, now Free, just showing you that addiction is a worship disorder we're pursuing trying to be satisfied in the world, but we're spiritual beings and God wants us to be come into relationship with him.
• 12:07
  Rodney Williams: And how we come into relationship with relationship with him is through Jesus Christ.
• 12:11
  Rodney Williams: And uh, and then and he realized he's everything, when you come in this relationship with Christ and give him your all, uh, you realize everything you had been looking for in the world is you find it in?
• 12:21
  Ron Meyers: him.
• 12:22
  Ron Meyers: I remember when we were filming something with you years ago, one of the girls that worked with me I believe it was Ashley heard about that book and she sent that book to someone that was incarcerated up in Oklahoma.
• 12:35
  Ron Meyers: That book changed their life.
• 12:37
  Ron Meyers: And I'm telling you, friends, this is we all have a purpose, we all have a calling in life and until you get in that calling and purpose, you're going to just wander around the world.
• 12:47
  Ron Meyers: His purpose is in these books and I would highly recommend getting a copy of this book.
• 12:53
  Ron Meyers: And Rodney does it for free.
• 12:54
  Ron Meyers: The Lord provides for him.
• 12:56
  Ron Meyers: So, rodney, how do they get a copy of this book?
• 12:58
  Rodney Williams: You can go to our website clubmethtochristcom all lowercase clubmethtoch, christcom all lowercase club meth to christcom and uh, just uh, there's a thing in there about the books.
• 13:10
  Rodney Williams: You know that you can message me.
• 13:12
  Rodney Williams: I just need an address, your name and address.
• 13:15
  Rodney Williams: If you're in prison or have a loved one in prison, just send me all the information, the ais number, whatever needs to be done to get it to the jails.
• 13:21
  Rodney Williams: We send them across the country to jails prisons.
• 13:24
  Rodney Williams: We want to see inmates.
• 13:26
  Ron Meyers: We want to see addicts free, like I was free Did you ever play, when you were a kid, that little game called dot to dot.
• 13:34
  Ron Meyers: You go and you take, go from number one to number two and you eventually get a picture.
• 13:38
  Ron Meyers: I bring that up because you know when you're talking I think about when all of us are faithful in the gifts and calling of our life, we help put that picture that God has for all of us coming together.
• 13:50
  Ron Meyers: Your dot connects with another one and another one, and soon it's that I see that unity in Christ.
• 13:56
  Ron Meyers: They were in one spirit, that we're talking about Jesus, something the world is desperate for now.
• 14:02
  Ron Meyers: Does that make sense?
• 14:03
  Rodney Williams: Yes, yes, that's why it's called the body of Christ.
• 14:05
  Rodney Williams: You know, there's many different functions, you know, and they're all needed for the body to work the way it's supposed to work.
• 14:13
  Ron Meyers: So now you've got the microphone, I need you to give somebody some encouragement or hope that's listening right now.
• 14:20
  Rodney Williams: Well, in your darkest moment, you know your darkest moment.
• 14:24
  Rodney Williams: You know when you have no hope, there's hope in God.
• 14:27
  Rodney Williams: You know what I'm saying Through Christ Jesus.
• 14:29
  Rodney Williams: You know that you just got to cry out to God and mean it with the heart, not just the profession.
• 14:34
  Rodney Williams: The heart is the center of who we are.
• 14:36
  Rodney Williams: You know what I'm saying.
• 14:40
  Rodney Williams: When you cry out to God in the heart, in repentance, that you don't want to live this way no more, and ask him to come and to live in your heart and to make you his child, he'll do it and it's called regeneration, or the new birth takes place, and that day forward you begin to follow him.
• 14:58
  Rodney Williams: And you know me.
• 15:01
  Rodney Williams: God's plan for me was to not only give my life to him, but I was so full of the world I went to a Christian rehabilitation center where God was able to cleanse me, wash me and build a foundation that I've got to build upon the rest of my life.
• 15:13
  Rodney Williams: You know, because I'm in a process.
• 15:15
  Rodney Williams: You know I'm in the process of God transforming me, changing me, making me, day by day, that new creation in Christ Amen.
• 15:24
  Ron Meyers: You know one thing, listeners, I've known Rodney for many years and this is a follow-up to an interview I did a few years ago but, rodney, you lost your wife, Jennifer a few years ago, who I had interviewed, and you went through that tragic thing in your life and you still went out and wrote the books and went out to prisons.
• 15:46
  Ron Meyers: How is life now without, uh, jennifer, your partner, uh and soulmate, uh, and now you're out there and I think you remarried, didn't you?
• 15:55
  Rodney Williams: I did and uh, yeah, we, um, you know, uh, life, life, we live in a fallen world, fallen, uh.
• 16:02
  Rodney Williams: You know death comes, you know you, just, you just gotta.
• 16:06
  Rodney Williams: That's why christ has got to be preeminent, you know, uh, you know he's got to be superior in your life over your mama, your brother, your sister and all things.
• 16:14
  Rodney Williams: You got to put christ in the proper position, uh.
• 16:17
  Rodney Williams: So when you, when you lose someone, uh, or you got sickness, you got, whatever hardships, whatever you go through, uh, christ, christ is there to go with you through it.
• 16:26
  Rodney Williams: You know what I'm saying.
• 16:27
  Rodney Williams: He is your strength, he's your empowerment, he's your comforter, he's everything that you need to get you through that and to keep serving him and living for him.
• 16:37
  Ron Meyers: Rodney, I'm so proud of you and it's a pleasure to call you my friend because I know what you do.
• 16:42
  Ron Meyers: You go down in New Orleans, a lot down in the French Quarter, and talk with people about Jesus.
• 16:47
  Ron Meyers: You're doing so much good work out there.
• 16:49
  Ron Meyers: Before we go today, will you pray for anyone that's listening, that's dealing with any type of addiction, whatever it is?

  Ron Meyers: You fill in the blank.
• 16:59
  Ron Meyers: Will you pray for them, please, Father?
• 17:02
  Rodney Williams: God, we just come before you thanking you that you love us and you demonstrated that love through the cross of Jesus Christ.
• 17:09
  Rodney Williams: Lord, I just pray for the people that are out there, god, that are in the darkness and the bondage of addiction.
• 17:14
  Rodney Williams: Lord, that you'll draw them, call them, that they'll just release them, release the addiction and turn and put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ and begin this journey to trusting you and living for you.
