Overcoming Childhood Trauma & Finding True Peace in Christ | Pastor Diego Gomes Testimony

Today, Engel Jones has a deeply moving, hope-filled conversation with minister and missionary Pastor Diego Gomes, connecting from Brazil. Diego opens up about his life journey, beginning with a turbulent childhood marked by domestic violence, addiction, and family struggles. Though his grandfather was a pastor, Diego grew up completely disconnected from church. Discover the beautiful moment at age 13 when he attended a service, heard the worship songs, and experienced a life-changing encounter with the Holy Spirit that instantly set him free and filled him with supernatural peace. Learn how his travels transformed his faith. Diego shares the raw and healing experience of moving to New Zealand to serve at a YWAM base. He vulnerably discusses why stepping away from the “Pastor Diego” label to work as an unrecognized volunteer was exactly what his soul needed to recover and grow. Diego also shares the story behind his prominent neck tattoo, breaking down his life philosophy that hope is not a feeling, a pill, or a bottle of wine, but a person named Jesus. Grounded in scripture, Diego shares a comforting message on navigating life’s storms, reminding us that while Christ promised us trials, He also promised us His constant presence. His message is a beautiful, evergreen reminder that no matter what season you find yourself in today, Christ is more than enough!
