    From Suicidal Despair to Lasting Peace — Hadyn Derr's Testimony

    Some battles don't end when the deployment does. Hadyn Derr fought his for 18 years before finding the peace he thought was impossible. EPISODE PREMISE What happens when the battle isn't against an enemy—but against your own mind? In this deeply moving episode of Testimony Strong, U.S. Army officer Hadyn Derr shares the testimony he hid for most of his life. From childhood wounds and years of depression to addiction and three suicide attempts, Hadyn believed he was destined to carry pain forever. Instead, God revealed He had been walking beside him through every chapter—even when Hadyn couldn't see Him. This conversation isn't about religion. It's about redemption, restoration, and discovering that your darkest moments don't have to define your future. In this episode, you'll discover: Understand how one childhood conversation quietly shaped eighteen years of depression and broken identity. Recognize how God used ordinary people to intervene during three separate suicide attempts before Hadyn ever knew Him personally. Hear the unexpected conversation with his wife that opened the door to a relationship with Christ and changed the direction of his life. Experience the powerful "second kitchen" moment where a worship song brought him to his knees and replaced years of hopelessness with peace beyond understanding. Discover why looking back at your story can reveal God's fingerprints even in seasons when you felt completely alone. "I lived a life for 18 years that I didn't want. Then I finally gave it to Someone who wanted it—and it has surpassed every expectation I ever had." About Hadyn Derr Hadyn Derr is a U.S. Army officer, husband, father of three, and Company Commander at a Basic Training unit at Fort Benning, Georgia. After silently battling depression, addiction, and multiple suicide attempts for nearly two decades, he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ in November 2024.

    From Father Wounds to Freedom: Steve Prince on Following Christ

    Most Christians know Jesus as Savior. Few truly surrender to Him as Lord. Steve Prince spent years believing in Christ while still living on his own terms. It wasn't until he confronted decades of unresolved pain over his father's suicide—and chose biblical forgiveness—that everything changed. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn't found in simply knowing Scripture, but in obeying it. In this episode, you'll discover: • Understand the life-changing difference between accepting Jesus as Savior and making Him Lord of your life. • Learn how unforgiveness toward his father silently affected Steve's marriage, ministry, and purpose for more than 25 years—and the moment that finally brought freedom. • Discover why Warrior Set Free approaches healing differently by helping veterans and first responders apply God's Word instead of only hearing it. • Recognize how military service, spiritual warfare, and biblical discipleship intersect to create lasting transformation. About Steve Prince Steve Prince is a retired U.S. Army veteran who served for 25 years, including Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He now serves as National Director of Warrior Set Free, where he helps veterans and first responders find freedom from trauma, unforgiveness, and spiritual bondage through biblical discipleship. His own testimony of healing from father wounds has become the foundation of a ministry impacting veterans across the country. "I wanted Jesus to be my Savior, but I had never acknowledged Jesus Christ as my Lord. He's in charge of me, and I'm to be obedient."

    You can survive the military, build a career, and still be losing the battle inside. EPISODE PREMISE Todd Mizer spent years believing success came from grit, discipline, and handling everything on his own. A Marine Corps veteran, husband, father, and successful professional, he had survived friendly fire, near-death military training accidents, and built a successful civilian career—but when the loss of his grandmother sent him into deep depression, everything he trusted in himself collapsed. In this powerful episode of Testimony Strong, Todd shares the night one desperate prayer changed everything. His story is about more than overcoming addiction or depression—it's about discovering that Jesus had been walking beside him through every battle, even when he never acknowledged Him. In this episode, you'll discover: • Recognize how pride and self-reliance can quietly keep you from asking for help—even when you're surrounded by people who love you. • Hear the powerful moment Todd surrendered decades of pain, addiction, and control through one heartfelt prayer that forever changed his life. • Learn why Todd walked away from alcohol, marijuana, prescription dependence, pornography, and his old identity after encountering Christ. • See how one person's transformation became an entire family's testimony as Todd, his wife Michelle, and their two children were baptized together and built a Christ-centered home. About Todd Mizer Todd Mizer is a United States Marine Corps veteran and co-founder of Strativ LLC, where he serves as an Enterprise Portfolio Management consultant. After years of believing he could carry life's burdens alone, Todd experienced a radical encounter with Jesus Christ that completely transformed his life. Today he is passionate about discipling others, leading his family in faith, and sharing the hope that no one is too far gone for God's grace. "I walked away from all of it that night after that prayer... including porn. Completely gave it up. All I listen to now is Christian music. You talk about a complete 180—it completely changed me."
