Can someone believe in Jesus without truly surrendering to Him?

In this powerful episode of Dallas the Podcast, Dallas Fears sits down with Quintin Elliott—speaker, pastor, and leader at Concord Church—to share the remarkable story of how one faithful father, one persistent invitation, and one unforgettable night completely transformed his life.

Growing up in Baton Rouge, Quintin was raised by parents who modeled discipline, integrity, and perseverance. Although he believed Jesus was real, he eventually realized there was a profound difference between believing about Christ and making Him Lord of his life.

In this conversation, Quintin shares:

• The incredible man who first showed him authentic Christianity
• The terrifying night that changed everything
• Why suffering can become God's greatest classroom
• The difference between knowing Jesus and surrendering to Him
• How a father's influence can shape a lifetime of faith
• Why God often uses ordinary people to change extraordinary lives
• What it means to trust God through difficult seasons
• Why our greatest trials often become our greatest testimony

Whether you're exploring faith, walking through adversity, or simply looking for hope and encouragement, this conversation will challenge you to see God's purpose in every season of life.

One of Quintin's most powerful reminders:

"It's not my job to convince, convict, or convert. It's my job to share the truth and let God do the rest."
