The Hardship of Grief TRB #27 Keri Rodriguez04 Sep 202501:14:03

Send us a text

September 1st was National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. As such, we dedicate the episode to the thousands of children around the world who have suffered and died of childhood cancer.

Grief has a way of reshaping our lives in ways we never imagined. For Keri Rodriguez, the unthinkable happened when her granddaughter Everly was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer at just 16 months old. What followed was a harrowing journey through hospital stays, treatments, moments of hope, and ultimately heartbreak when Everly passed away before her third birthday.

This raw conversation explores the intersection of profound loss and spiritual faith. Keri candidly shares how she proclaimed to everyone – even skeptical medical staff – that God would heal her granddaughter. When healing didn't come in the expected form, she faced the question that haunts many believers: Why didn't God heal Everly when we know He could have?

Spiritual Bypass THB #26 Dr. Peridot Gilbert-Reed28 Aug 202501:37:23

Send us a text

Have you ever been told to "just pray more" when facing depression? Or heard "God has a plan" when grieving, leaving you feeling worse instead of comforted? You're not alone, and there's a name for this phenomenon: spiritual bypass.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Peridot Gilbert-Reed shares her groundbreaking research on how Christians use scripture and religious language to avoid processing psychological pain. While often well-intentioned, this practice prevents genuine healing and can leave lasting wounds. As a licensed professional counselor with a Ph.D. focused on spiritual abuse and spiritual bypass, Dr. Gilbert-Reed brings both professional expertise and personal experience to this sensitive topic.

We explore the difference between healthy faith and harmful avoidance, examining how phrases like "do not be anxious about anything" can be weaponized against vulnerable people. Dr. Gilbert-Reed explains how spiritual bypass occurs most commonly in three contexts: home, church settings, and ministry workplaces, and she provides practical guidance for recognizing when it's happening to you.

Freedom From the P-word TRB# 25 Breanna Arango21 Aug 202501:08:36

Send us a text

Pornography addiction among Christian women remains one of the most hidden yet prevalent struggles in our churches today. In this vulnerable conversation, Brianna Arango breaks the silence by sharing her journey from secret addiction to complete freedom.

Brianna's story begins with accidental exposure to pornography at just seven years old, creating neural pathways she would return to as a teenager during times of emotional distress. Despite being actively involved in her church—playing in the praise team and attending regularly—she maintained a secret addiction that created significant spiritual separation. What makes her testimony particularly powerful is her insight that despite repeatedly asking God to take away her addiction, she wasn't truly surrendering it: "I realized I wasn't letting it go... it was just such a security that I couldn't let go."

The conversation takes a surprising turn when Brianna reveals the critical moment that gave her hope—overhearing a friend mention someone who had overcome pornography addiction. This simple revelation that she wasn't alone gave her the courage to confide in someone. Through accountability, practical safeguards, and immersion in Scripture, she began her eight-month journey toward freedom.

Drugs, Affairs, Forgiveness TRB #24 Tom Lyman07 Aug 202501:16:18

Send us a text

Tom Lyman's testimony isn't just another recovery story—it's a raw journey through the paradox of growing up in church while harboring secret addictions that nearly destroyed everything he loved.

From his sheltered beginnings in a tiny church school with just one classmate to the depths of cocaine addiction and infidelity while still attending services every Sunday, Tom's story strips away the façade many maintain in religious environments. "I was that guy on the pew," he reveals, describing how for twelve years he maintained a perfect Christian appearance while spiraling through pornography, substance abuse, and multiple affairs.

The most devastating part? His wife Lana stood by him through countless broken promises until that Thanksgiving night in 2021 when she finally said, "I love the real you. This isn't you, and I'm done." That moment—sitting alone outside while hearing his family laughing inside—became the crucible for authentic transformation.

Listen for more of how God has redeemed the broken pieces.

Searching For Truth #TRB Episode 23- Michael Arrango24 Jul 202501:38:45

Send us a text

What happens when a man raised around Louisiana voodoo and family "witches" goes searching for spiritual enlightenment? Michael Arango takes us through his extraordinary journey from occult practices to authentic faith, revealing the subtle deceptions that nearly destroyed him.

Beginning with childhood exposure to supernatural phenomena and his mother's claims of being a witch, Michael shares how these early encounters created a natural bridge to later occult involvement. After his father's death at age 21, Michael's spiritual quest led him through progressively darker practices—from alien theories to chakra meditation, psychedelic experimentation, and the Law of Attraction. With striking clarity, he reveals how these seemingly innocent spiritual pursuits actually opened doors to demonic influence.

The most compelling aspect of Michael's testimony is his unique ability to identify occult principles that have infiltrated modern church culture. Having experienced both worlds, he pinpoints how New Age concepts are often repackaged with Christian terminology, creating dangerous spiritual confusion. His warnings about the "prosperity gospel" and manifestation teachings challenge believers to examine whether their faith practices truly align with scripture or subtly promote self-deification.

God's Amazing Grace: TRB #22 Reid Mendez17 Jul 202501:58:31

Send us a text

After his body went over an overpass, Reid Mendez couldn't be found for 48 hours. When someone finally found him, they were shocked he survived his mysterious accident. With a broken femur, crushed face, fractured neck, and brain bleeding, his survival defied medical explanation. But for Reid, it was the latest chapter in a lifelong story of God's relentless pursuit—a journey he shares with raw honesty in this powerful episode.

Reid's testimony begins with a troubled childhood marked by his father's imprisonment and his early rebellious years. He recounts his first encounter with Pentecostal faith while wearing an ankle monitor after a high-speed chase DWI charge—a divine appointment that introduced him to the supernatural gifts of the Spirit that would captivate his spiritual hunger for decades to come.

The most gripping segment explores Reid's descent into methamphetamine addiction and the dramatic intervention through visiting evangelist Brother Poe, who prophetically revealed details about Reid's life and warned him that death was imminent without immediate repentance. This supernatural encounter demonstrates the reality of spiritual warfare and God's sovereign timing in reaching those who have wandered.

Returning to Wholeness with Kelly Ventura, TRB #21 Part 3 of 310 Jul 202502:05:48

Send us a text

Trauma doesn't just wound our hearts—it fundamentally alters how we see ourselves, others, and most profoundly, how we view God. In this powerful conclusion to our three-part series, psychotherapists Kathy Chastain and Kelly Ventura explore the spiritual battlefield of childhood trauma and the enemy's strategic use of our wounds to distort our perception of God's character and intentions.

The conversation delves deep into how early attachment disruptions create internal belief systems that act as spiritual barriers. When caregivers who should have reflected God's protective nature instead become sources of fear or inconsistency, we unconsciously project these qualities onto God Himself. This explains why many trauma survivors find connecting with God challenging, even when they deeply desire that relationship.

Fear & Distrust with Kelly Ventura TRB#20 Part 203 Jul 202501:17:43

Send us a text

What happens when our deepest wounds collide with our deepest spiritual longings? This soul-stirring conversation between Kathy Chastain and Kelly Ventura delves into the profound connection between childhood attachment wounds and our ability to trust God.

The wounds of abandonment and rejection don't just affect our human relationships—they fundamentally alter how we perceive and approach God. Through personal stories and therapeutic insights, Kathy and Kelly unpack how these core wounds manifest as fear, perfectionism, and the constant feeling of not being enough. When someone grows up with unavailable caregivers or experiences criticism and exclusion, their internal framework for understanding love becomes distorted. God becomes seen as distant, punitive, or untrustworthy rather than the loving Father described in scripture.

What makes this episode particularly powerful is its honesty about the challenges of vulnerability. Kelly shares how imposter syndrome affects even ministry leaders, while Kathy reveals a moment when she desperately needed God to show up and feared losing her faith entirely. Their candid admissions create space for listeners to acknowledge their own struggles without shame. The discussion offers practical first steps for anyone hesitant to trust again—finding a private space, starting with just five minutes of focused prayer, and recognizing that God meets us exactly where we are.

When Innocence Is Stolen: TRB #19 Part 1 of 3 26 Jun 202501:27:06

Send us a text

What if your spiritual struggles have been confused with willpower or belief, but in reality, they stem from wounds inflicted long before you could understand them? In this groundbreaking first installment of a three-part series, Kathy Chastain and guest Kelly Ventura illuminate the powerful connection between childhood attachment trauma and our ability to trust God.

Every human is designed as a whole person—body, mind, emotions, and spirit—yet childhood experiences can fracture this unity, creating patterns that follow us into adulthood and spiritual life. Kelly, a licensed Pentecostal preacher with over 25 years of ministry experience, brings profound insight as he explains how the first five years of life establish templates for all future relationships—even our relationship with our Creator.

This episode offers hope beyond simple platitudes. When we understand that "your spirit is what becomes saved first, but your mind, emotions, and flesh need saving too," we gain compassion for ourselves and others who struggle. The healing journey involves recognizing intrusive thoughts as spiritual warfare rather than personal shortcomings, developing consistent spiritual practices, and intentionally choosing to see evidence of God's goodness.

Surviving Sexual Abuse: TRB#18- Christine Molano12 Jun 202501:36:24

Send us a text

Christine Milano's raw testimony of trauma, addiction, and redemption leaves no stone unturned as she recounts her journey from childhood sexual abuse to spiritual freedom. Beginning at just three years old, Christine endured sexual abuse that would continue until she was ten, creating deep wounds she'd carry silently for decades. This early trauma manifested in a profound belief that she was unloved, leading to self-harm, dissociation, and two suicide attempts that her family barely knew about.

Despite finding moments of joy through motherhood, Christine's unhealed wounds drew her into destructive relationships. For ten years, she endured severe domestic violence in her second marriage with a meth-addicted spouse who broke her nose and choked her multiple times. When that relationship finally ended, alcohol became her escape. What began as social drinking quickly spiraled into severe alcoholism, with Christine drinking vodka straight and receiving three DUIs in a single year.

Tune in to hear the miraculous comeback as God intervened and completely delivered her!

Cursed at 19: TRB #17 Chris Guzman05 Jun 202501:34:29

Send us a text

What happens when the supernatural realm crashes into our everyday reality? Chris Guzman never expected to find himself battling demonic entities, hearing voices, and seeing manifestations that defied explanation. Yet that's exactly what happened when a former girlfriend performed witchcraft against him at age 19, sending him into a terrifying spiral that no medication or therapy could resolve.

In this gripping episode, Chris shares his extraordinary journey through supernatural attack to divine deliverance. From growing up on the fringes of church to experimenting with drugs as a teenager, his spiritual defenses were already compromised when a curse dramatically altered his perception of reality. The scratches that appeared on his body, the demonic presences visible around him, and the tormenting voices couldn't be explained away as drug-induced hallucinations—they persisted even after he got clean.

God Was Too Hard- TRB#16- Tamara Farmer29 May 202501:32:12

Send us a text

At just fifteen years old, Tamara Mazon-Farmer had her world shattered when someone she deeply admired in church delivered a crushing prophecy: she would never marry, never have children, never know that kind of love. This devastating message—which she now recognizes as a false word—became an identity she "put on like a jacket" every morning, eventually driving her away from faith entirely.

In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Tamara courageously traces her journey from devoted church girl to a life consumed by addiction and darkness. After walking away from Bible college, she plunged into years of alcohol abuse, married an atheist, and faced increasingly dangerous situations—including a chilling supernatural encounter that forced her to call on the very God she thought she'd abandoned.

God’s Healing Power- TRB #15 Victor Molano22 May 202501:49:38

Send us a text

When Victor Milano was just five years old, a Sunday school bus ministry changed the trajectory of his entire family. That simple knock on the door began a spiritual journey spanning decades—from childhood faith to teenage questioning, through marriage, divorce, and years of backsliding, before ultimately finding redemption and miraculous healing.

Victor shares with raw honesty how his early years in Pentecostal churches provided a strong spiritual foundation, yet couldn't prevent the inevitable questions and temptations of adolescence. Despite being active in youth group and church leadership, internal struggles and a lack of transparent mentorship eventually led to a painful divorce that severed his church connections. For years afterward, Victor lived what he candidly calls "just living in sin," until concern for his sons' spiritual future prompted a return to faith.

The most powerful moments in this episode come when Victor reveals the deep healing work God performed in his life. Through tearful prayer, God revealed childhood trauma Victor had suppressed for decades—memories that explained the sexual struggles that had plagued him throughout adulthood. Even more remarkably, Victor shares the medically documented miracle of his blood disorder healing. After years of transfusions and chronically dangerous blood levels, his hemoglobin inexplicably jumped from 7 to 12 overnight without medical intervention, leaving doctors stunned.

This testimony brilliantly illustrates how God's redemptive work addresses both spiritual and physical brokenness. Victor's journey demonstrates that no matter how far we wander or how deep our wounds, complete restoration is possible. His powerful message to fellow backsliders resonates with hope: "You're worthy. God will accept exactly who you are... His precious blood was enough and His grace is sufficient." If you've walked away from faith or know someone who has, this episode offers compelling evidence that it's never too late to come home.

His father left when he was around 3 years old. By the time he was 8 years old, things began to change in him, in ways he didn't understand at the time. At age 13, a older boy in the church told him if he wanted to make his dreams come true, he would need to do a particular ritual. He did exactly as he was instructed and from that moment on, everything changed. For the next 5 years, Ethan became heavily involved in the occult until God intervined and set him free. Today, Rev. Ethan Logsdon is a powerful anointed preacher of the gospel and God is using him to help set the captives free.
