Conversations with Buddy

Manny starts out his story with where he is currently and things are going quite well, but then the story unfolds to where he was just a few years ago…. 

Nearly homeless and an extreme alcoholic.  

The people that new him did not have much hope that he would make it.  He was at the bottom of an empty barrel with no hope. 

Now… Manny is a professional guitarist, singer, songwriter and teaches guitar lessons to over 50 students. He is the leader of the Manny Martinez Jazz Quartet and also the leader of a Rock band, Birth of Happiness!

His life changed in a moment! What or who was it that caused him to make a different decision?

Nate grew up in Keizer, OR in a Christian family. While searching for meaning and purpose Nate was introduced to alcohol as a 16 year old… then drugs was his next step! For the next 17 years he was fighting a battle he could not win… at least, not on his own!

Continued pain and brokenness was not enough to make a change on his own! Listen to his story and you will learn what finally changed! 

Today, Nate has been clean and sober for over 15 years, has an amazing wife and 4 kids! He is a business owner, real estate investor, hunting and fishing advocate and lives for Jesus! 

It was fitting to hear Nate’s journey of redemption on Good Friday, when we recorded this episode, to reflect on our Savior who is the ONE who redeems us! 🙏🙏🙏
