    Lindsay Angelo: One Week, One Life, and a God Who Was in Every Moment (Testimony) | EP #71 (Pt 2)

    Lindsay and Jared Angelo walked into the hardest week of their lives not knowing how much they would need what God was about to do in them.In Part 2 of Lindsay's testimony, she walks through the unthinkable — the decisions, the waiting, and the grief that followed. But woven through every moment is the unmistakable presence of a God who was never absent, even when He felt impossible to find. This is a story about what happens when loss strips everything away — and leaves only Jesus standing._________ Shae's Sunshine 3rd Annual Shae's Workout | July 11th, 2026Shae Manley Angelo was born on July 11, 2023 — a day full of joy and snuggles — before his family learned he had a rare condition that would take him to heaven far too soon. In the wake of that loss, his mother Lindsay founded Shae's Sunshine: a ministry rooted in the belief that even the briefest lives carry eternal purpose, and that God calls us to spread the good in the middle of the hard.Every year on Shae's birthday, families gather to move together, celebrate life, and remind one another that joy can still be found when we walk with the Lord.This July 11th marks the 3rd annual Shae's Workout — and for the first time, they're inviting communities across the nation to join in.

    Lindsay Angelo: The Quiet Drift and the Long Way Back (Testimony) | EP #70 (Pt 1)

    In Episode 70 of The Real Jesus Experience, Chad sits down with Lindsay Angelo — PE teacher, wife, mother, and D1 walk-on athlete — for an honest, faith-filled conversation about what it looks like when the life you planned collides with the life God designed.Lindsay grew up steeped in faith at First Presbyterian Church of Houston, running track with her father, and feeling Jesus in her soul at a Good Friday service as a child. But like so many of us, her twenties looked a little different. Not rebellious — just... quiet. She wandered. And slowly, in the middle of financial hardship, COVID layoffs, teaching third grade, and falling in love with a man who didn't believe, God was quietly laying the groundwork for something she couldn't yet see.If you've ever drifted from God and wondered if He's still there — this episode is for you.Shae's Sunshine — 3rd Annual Shae's Workout | July 11th, 2026Shae Manley Angelo was born on July 11, 2023 — a day full of joy and snuggles — before his family learned he had a rare condition that would take him to heaven far too soon.

    Claudia Hensley: From Prison Ministry to the Valley of Cancer (Faith in Motion) | EP #2

    In this Faith in Motion update, Claudia Hensley returns to share how God has continued working since her first testimony. From serving in prison and immigration ministry to walking through a frightening medical crisis with her husband, Chris, Claudia’s story reveals what it looks like when faith moves from words to daily surrender. As fear, uncertainty, and pressure closed in, Claudia found herself having to live out the very trust in God she had encouraged others to have. This conversation is a powerful reminder that Jesus is present in the prison, in the hospital room, and in every valley where His people choose to trust Him.

    Ronnie Johnson: When Death Became the Door Back to Faith (Testimony) EP#69 (Pt 2)

    In Part 2 of Ronnie Johnson’s testimony, Ronnie shares the painful season when his dad’s cancer, unanswered prayers, church disappointment, and broken relationships all seemed to collide at once. As his father’s health declined, Ronnie found himself angry, disoriented, and unsure what to do with a God who seemed silent while everyone was praying for healing. But in the middle of grief, Jesus met Ronnie in a way he never expected. Through forgiveness at a deathbed, reconciliation after years of distance, quiet acts of love, and a peace Ronnie could not manufacture, God began bringing him back to life. This is a story about the wall, the mystery of suffering, and the faithful presence of Jesus when the miracle looks different than the one we asked for. Ronnie Johnson, along with co-creator Jeff Parker, is behind Voice & Vine, a thoughtful space for honest writing on faith, formation, healing, and the slow work of becoming whole. Rooted in Scripture and grounded in story, Voice & Vine invites readers to slow down, reflect, and notice what God is doing in the ordinary places of life. Ronnie is also the founder of GoodFolks, a Texas-born design and development studio that builds purposeful websites, brands, and digital experiences with clarity and meaning.

    Ronnie Johnson: The Professional Christian (Testimony) | EP #68 (Pt 1)

    Ronnie Johnson grew up in a Christian home where church was a constant part of life. From an early age, he knew the language, the expectations, and the rhythms of faith—but somewhere along the way, following God became wrapped up in performance, pressure, and desperately trying not to lose his salvation. In Part 1 of Ronnie’s testimony, he shares honestly about growing up in church, learning how to play the part, wrestling with hidden sin, and eventually running into the kind of failure he could no longer manage or explain away. But in one of his lowest moments, God met him with a message he desperately needed to hear: “I can’t, but He can.” This is a story of grace breaking through shame, and Jesus revealing that freedom is not found in pretending harder—but in finally surrendering to what He has already done.

    Jeff Parker: The Confession That Set Me Free (Testimony) | EP #67 (Pt 2)

    In Part 2 of Jeff Parker’s testimony, Jeff shares the moment his hidden gambling addiction crossed a line he never thought he would cross—and how that one compromise became the beginning of a seven-year spiral of secrecy, theft, shame, and spiritual decay. What started as a rush slowly became a prison, affecting his marriage, his work, his friendships, and his ability to fully live the life God had placed in front of him. But God was not finished with Jeff. Through conviction, confession, community, repentance, restitution, and the grace of Jesus Christ, Jeff began to experience freedom on the other side of honesty. His story moves from hidden sin to restored relationships, from shame to shepherding, and from performing faith to learning what it means to be deeply loved by God. This episode is a powerful reminder that God’s grace reaches further than the tentacles of sin—and that the very story we want to hide may become the story God uses for His glory. **If Jeff’s perspective on faith resonated with you, you can find more of his writing at voiceandvine.co, where he shares thoughtful reflections on following Jesus with honesty, depth, and grace.

    Jeff Parker: Playing the Part While Falling Apart (Testimony) | EP #66 (Part 1)

    In Part 1 of Jeff Parker’s testimony, Jeff shares how a childhood marked by family instability, the pressure to be the “good kid,” and an early encounter with Jesus slowly became a life of trying to perform faith instead of walking in freedom. From his parents’ separation to youth leaders who showed him the love of Christ, Jeff’s story begins with real pain, real grace, and a growing desire to follow Jesus. But as life moved into college, marriage, ministry, career success, and fatherhood, hidden shame began to grow beneath the surface. Jeff opens up about the gap between who he wanted to be and what he was secretly carrying—and how gambling, partial confession, and the fear of being fully known began leading him toward a breaking point. This episode is an honest look at performance, shame, sin, and the kindness of God that keeps pursuing us even in seasons of disobedience.
