“I Died Twice… and God Gave Me a Second Chance“

I shouldn’t be here. But I am—and there is a reason for it.

There was a time I chased everything the world told me would bring fulfillment—success, ambition, recognition, possessions. Yet none of it could fill the emptiness inside. What I was searching for could never be found in the things of this world.

Then God stepped in… and everything changed.
I was saved by an Angel

What began as questions became faith. That faith became transformation. And that transformation became a calling.

This website is where I share that journey.

Through Christian devotionals, personal testimony, and biblical reflections, my hope is to encourage those who feel weary, uncertain, or spiritually distant to reconnect with God and discover the peace found only in Jesus Christ.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

That verse is not theory to me—it is my story.

Follow my journey as a New Man in Christ,

and the testimony of how I died twice and was given a second chance by the grace of God.

This is not a work of fiction, nor a polished theological dissertation. It is a living testimony—shaped through prayer, struggle, failure, redemption, and hope. It flows from real experiences, quiet mornings in Scripture, honest conversations with God, and what I often call Having Coffee with Christ.

Here you will find reflections rooted in biblical truth but written through the lens of everyday life—because faith is not meant to remain in church pews on Sunday. It is meant to shape how we live, endure hardship, find purpose, and walk with Christ daily.

My name is Jeffrey Trester. I am not a pastor or a scholar—just a man called to serve and to share what God has done in my life.

Within these pages, you will find devotionals, spiritual encouragement, and honest conversations about faith, doubt, perseverance, and transformation.

You will also find the heartbeat behind a vision I believe God placed within me

Bibles, Billiards & Beans™

a Christ-centered community built on fellowship, discipleship, and hope.

This mission has never been about building a platform. It has always been about pointing people to Jesus.

If you have ever wondered whether God can redeem your past…
If you have ever questioned your purpose…
If you have ever felt your prayers were met with silence…
If you have ever asked, Am I enough?

I want you to know you are not alone.

God still restores. God still calls. God still changes lives.

My prayer is that something here strengthens your faith, stirs your heart, and reminds you that your story is not over.

Because if God can take a broken life and make it new, He can do the same for you.

Let’s begin this journey together.

In Christ,
Jeffrey Trester
