About this listen

One of eleven children born to a father who “turned to the bottle instead of the Bible,” young Thomas Nesbitt didn’t know what a normal family was. Tom’s father, a third-generation alcoholic, took his frustrations out on his family and created a legacy of brokenness and pain. But when Tom’s life was intersected by a Holy God, he was transformed from the inside out. His hunger for the Word and his passion for evangelism led him on a ministry path that changed his future. By accepting and extending forgiveness, Tom was able to watch God’s Kingdom move forward in miraculous ways that impacted his relationships, his reasoning, and his reach. From small-town preacher to “seaport town” pastor, Tom’s passion for God has never wavered. The painful traces of a broken legacy have led to the pleasant places of eternal impact in his family, the nation, and, quite possibly, the world.
