The Real Jesus Experience

This episode will have you grinning one second and choking back tears the next, as we chat with Steve Rutledge about his life story. Through some beautiful, but heartbreaking ways, God intervened in his life that he would go from a college dropout to multi-million-dollar business owner. From the brink of divorce to being married 46 years and LOVING every minute of it!

You will LOVE this story.

Steve served on the board for World Hope Ministries International for 12-years (2-years as Vice-Chairman), is an Elder at HNW church, and as mentioned above he built a multi-million-dollar trucking company that began out of obedience to God’s calling.
