The Bible teaches that all people are sinners, falling short of God’s glory. Everyone has turned away from Him, driven by pride, ignorance, and disobedience, choosing their own path rather than following Christ.
However, despite our faults and failures, Christ continuously reaches out to us, calling us by name. He is the loving and faithful Shepherd who relentlessly seeks out the lost.
Musician Walker Hayes was a lost sheep, as we all were at one time or another. But after some enormous hurt, loss, and a battle with alcohol, Walker has found Jesus Christ, and his testimony is moving, powerful, and likely to bring you to tears.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Walker shares how he came to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. As a young man, Walker and his wife moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue country music. Eventually, he scored a record deal and a hit song, but he started developing a drinking problem.
In 2014, Walker and his family were invited to a church service. Walker went even though he considered himself an atheist. Over the next few years, Walker and the pastor of that church service became friends.
Walker eventually lost his record deal in 2015. He and his wife had five children at the time. Things got so bad that the record label even repossessed the family’s van.
Then, in 2016, Walker got another record deal, but his pastor friend refused to give up on him. Walker said that he would believe God was real if God could take away his desire to drink, and that’s exactly what He did.
“When he quit on that Saturday, it wasn’t, it wasn’t with the intent of ‘I’m done drinking,’” Laney Hayes, Walker’s wife, said. “It was just one day he wasn’t drinking, and then the next day he didn’t, and then the next day, and it’s miraculous that he stopped that way.”
But as the clip states, in 2018, the Hayes family lost their baby girl, Oakley, soon after she was born.
