In this candid and compelling episode of the Truth in Love podcast, Kimberly Faith sits down with Robert Creech to trace his unlikely path from a restless West Texas teen to a young “back-to-the-land” homesteader in the Ozarks, and finally to a surrendered follower of Jesus called to missions in Latin America. Robert shares how moral efforts, other religions, yoga, and even sincere but works-based systems left him empty—until a plumber friend’s bold testimony, a Living Waters music night, and a few minutes overhearing Isaiah 53 at a home Bible study brought Holy Spirit conviction. He describes kneeling in a turkey house, surrendering to Christ, and walking outside as a “new creature.”
Robert and Kimberly talk about grace over works, why love and truth must travel together, and how simple, biblical patterns—preach the gospel, disciple personally, train leaders—multiplied churches across Panama and beyond. You’ll hear about practical evangelism tools (the Jesus Film, correspondence courses), the power of everyday faithfulness (mentors like Jeannie Champagne, Tom Harden, Milton Martin), and God’s providence in restoring Robert’s Spanish to serve others. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can use ordinary people and small decisions to shape eternal outcomes, this story will strengthen your hope—and invite you to surrender everything to Jesus.
