About this podcast

Lance Johnson Ministries

Relevate Church

Lance Johnson comes by way of a life of struggles having been trapped by the unrelenting grip of alcohol and drug addiction and the desperate life style that comes with it. He brings a fresh word that is woven into the fabric of a life that has known the agony of an empty soul. One early fall day in September of 1990 he had an encounter with the King of Kings that not only changed him but has eternally altered the lives of thousands that now proclaim along with him that “When Jesus sets you free you are completely free”. Pastor Lance now reaches into depths of his experience to deliver a starkly real story of freedom by the power of God. Now he only looks back to encourage those that are lagging behind. He has spent almost a quarter of a century rescuing people from a background of death and ruin and introducing them to a life of prosperity and liberty. Lance has pioneered addiction recovery ministries as well as numerous churches. He has planted bible colleges and overseas mission works, thereby reaching people from every walk of life and social background. He has introduced vast numbers of people to a victorious, overcoming lifestyle. He is currently the founder and Senior Pastor of Relevate Church with two locations in Woodstock GA and Ranger GA. He is also the founder and teacher at Lions Gate Ministry Training Academy.

Trade Your Burdens for Blessings with Bishop Lance Johnson

Episode Overview

Surrendering struggles to Jesus leads to true freedom.
Knowing about God is different from truly knowing Him.
Letting go of toxic relationships can open doors to blessings.
Embracing imperfections in life aligns us with divine purpose.
Living authentically through faith brings joy and peace.

“"You're going to give him your anxiety and he's going to give you a calm that the world could never give you."”

What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? Bishop Lance Johnson tackles this question with fervour in the latest episode of 'Release the Roar'. Drawing from his own journey from addiction to redemption, Bishop Lance passionately discusses the power of surrendering one's struggles to Jesus. With a blend of humour and candour, he addresses the challenges many face when trying to let go of the 'one thing' that holds them back.

The episode isn't just about giving up vices; it's about embracing a transformative relationship with God. Bishop Lance emphasises that true freedom comes not from a life free of challenges, but from a life lived in alignment with divine purpose. He challenges listeners to consider what they are holding onto that might be keeping them from experiencing God's best.

Whether it's a toxic relationship, an addiction, or simply the fear of change, Bishop Lance encourages everyone to trade their burdens for blessings. His message is clear: knowing about God is different from truly knowing Him, and it is this deeper relationship that can lead to a life of abundance and joy. So, what are you willing to trade for peace and joy? This episode invites reflection on what it truly means to live a life transformed by faith.
