This week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with artist, storyteller, and encourager Lathan Warlick for a powerful conversation about purpose, prayer, and the unmistakable hand of God throughout his life.

Growing up on the east side of Jackson, Tennessee, Lathan shares how his environment nearly pulled him away from the faith he embraced as a child. But even in the darkest moments, God continued to pursue him—through a stranger's prophetic word, a life-changing encounter on stage, and a miracle that forever altered the course of his life.

Lathan recounts the terrifying night he found himself staring down the barrel of a .45 caliber handgun. As he silently cried out to God for help, the trigger clicked—but the bullet never fired. Moments later, headlights flooded the scene, sending the attackers running. When Lathan returned to the spot, he discovered the bullet on the ground and realized the gun hadn't jammed at all. It became undeniable evidence to him that God had intervened and spared his life for a greater purpose.

The conversation also explores:

• How a prophetic word shifted him from dancing to using his voice for God
• Why surrender—not striving—brought balance to his life
• The life-changing power of prayer and fasting
• Protecting your heart, mind, and attention in the age of social media
• Building a legacy of faith that outlives money or success
• Why unity is at the heart of everything God calls us to do

Lathan also shares how stepping away from a stable railroad career to pursue music wasn't just a career decision—it was an act of obedience. Now, as an independent artist, he continues to use his platform to bridge cultures, inspire hope, and point people to Jesus through every song and every story.

Honest, passionate, and filled with unforgettable testimony, this episode is a reminder that God is still working miracles, still calling people into purpose, and still writing stories that only He could orchestrate.

🎧 If you've ever wondered whether God still speaks, still protects, or still has a purpose for your life, this conversation will encourage you to trust Him—even when you can't yet see the bigger picture.
