The Spiritman Network Podcast with Michael Taylor Jr.

“I just remember going forward, any time people go forward in the church there’s a little bit of nerves, what is everyone going to think of me? That kind of stuff. I went forward with all of that anger, that bitterness, that depression, and all of that, that I had been carrying around since the day I lost my arm. When I gave my life to Jesus something changed, like, I know I was made a new creator because of Jesus…the guy who went back to his seat I didn’t feel so angry, I didn’t feel so bitter, I felt like the weight of the world had been taken off of my shoulders. It was like I was walking on air and that’s how quickly God came in and changed my life.” Jeff Bardel – author of “If I Would have died that Day”

"The Spiritman Network Podcast with Michael Taylor Jr." welcomes Jeff Bardel, author and speaker of Jeff Bardel Ministries for episode number five. I talked to Jeff about his first book "If I Would Have Died That Day". He describes his traumatic industrial accident that took his arm and his transformational testimony of surrendering his angry and bitterness his life to Jesus Christ. 

Jeff Bardel is a 1998 graduate of Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Communications. After working as a newspaper reporter for a year and a half, he answered the call of God on his life and attended Rhema Bible Training Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, graduating in 2004 with a focus in pastoral studies. He worked in the Communications Department of Kenneth Hagin Ministries for 8+ years.

Since sharing his testimony for the first time in November 1996 to a group of 200 youth, the desire of Jeff's heart is to lead people to Jesus. Using humor and captivating illustrations, he has shared his unforgettable life story throughout the United States and around the world. After dedicating his life to Christ, Jeff has led thousands of people to Jesus.

On July 19, 2006, Jeff set a world record, breaking his own record he set in 2005, for the longest golf ball hit with only one arm. He incorporates that accomplishment into an altar call that challenges his audience to make a decision for Christ.

“If the church can divorce from pornography, pornography is the biggest advertisement for human trafficking…” – David Gamboa, Elijah Rising.
