Street Kid to Foster Dad with Peter Mutubazi

Peter Mutubazi is a proud foster dad! But his story started out in the depths of poverty in rural Uganda.  Raised by an abusive father and a mother who daily yearned to protect her children, Peter ran away from home at the young age of 10. Living on the streets for years, it took a perfect stranger who saw his potential and gave him a future.  This is a story of persistence; grace; faith and love. A true undog story. Peter is a living testimony of someone who was given an opportunity to be more than he ever thought he could ever be.  This is also the Season One Finale of Here with Maggie John!  Follow me at @maggsjohn on Instagram to stay up to date on the future of Here with Maggie John Podcast!  Thanks for listening!

The Road Away from God with Jonathan Martin

Have you ever walked away from your faith and away from God? Have you ever been disillusioned by your faith? Jonathan Martin has written a new book entitled The Road Away From God and he joins me this month on the podcast. Using the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus he shows how many of us can walk away not knowing like the disciples that there is another person present with us in our pain- His name is Jesus. Church Hurt is real and affects all of us in different ways, how that impacts our relationship with God and others can be hard.  This is a conversation all can take something away from.    Please subscribe to HERE with Maggie John.  Follow HERE with Maggie John on Instagram @herewithmaggie for exclusive content or on Facebook at HERE with Maggie John.
