    College Thrower Finds Identity in Jesus | Tommy Johnson | Ep. 31

    Intro song: "Change" by Stephen Stanley, bodie Outro song: "Fly" by Stephen Stanley Summary An unexpected Bible study became the turning point that changed everything for Tommy Johnson. What started as curiosity turned into a full surrender—and now he shares the moment he believes Jesus became real, the habits he left behind, and the shift in identity that reshaped his life. Tommy opens up about growing up agnostic, tying his worth to relationships and athletics, and reaching a breaking point as those foundations began to fall apart. He describes how reading Scripture, exploring the historical case for Jesus, and praying through grief led him from skepticism to belief. He also shares the early signs of transformation: conviction around sin, stepping away from corn, drinking, and weed, and learning to live with a new center. Tommy reflects on how God has changed the way he speaks, handles conflict, sees his family, and pursues holiness and humility. The conversation explores evidence for the Bible, why the resurrection matters, and how true Christianity differs from creating a version of God to suit yourself. They also wrestle with pride, self-righteousness, spiritual distraction, denominations, and what it means to follow Christ beyond simply wearing the label. Tommy is a student at Davenport University in Michigan and a track-and-field athlete whose testimony is shaped by grief, conviction, and a growing hunger for God’s truth. If you’re questioning faith, rebuilding after loss, or wondering whether real change is possible, this conversation offers an honest story of starting over and taking faith seriously.

    Saved from the Trap | 4KL | Ep. 30

    4KL's linktree: https://linktr.ee/4klofficial Heaven Bound Music Marketing: https://hbmusicmarketing.com/ Intro song: "LOST SOULS" by 4KL, SUBBABY, Joel Trujillo Outro song: "JESUS SAVES" by 4KL, gLowDaKidd Summary A “random” studio invite turned into the moment everything began to change. 4KL shares how one encounter with Jesus pulled him out of smoking, cussing, and a fast-life music grind into Christian rap, marriage, fatherhood, and a purpose-driven life centered on Christ. Before the shift, 4KL was making music for the world, building a secular catalog, and even running a music marketing agency in that lane. Then a friend he hadn’t seen in years showed up with a Bible on the dashboard, a transformed life, and Christian rap that 4KL had never heard before. That studio session cracked open a whole new world, and 4KL found himself in church, conviction, and a deeper relationship with God. You'll hear 4KL break down: - The altar call moment when he experienced God for the first time - Why his friend’s changed life hit harder than a sermon - How he went from secular music and marketing to Heaven Bound Music Marketing - The real cost of deleting a catalog with 100,000 monthly listeners - What spiritual growth looked like when the hype had to give way to substance He also opens up about the harder parts of transformation - leaving old friendships behind, learning how to live with conviction, balancing ministry with marriage and a newborn, and realizing that calling yourself a Christian artist means more than swapping one set of bars for another. 4KL is a Christian rapper and founder of Heaven Bound Music Marketing, where he helps Christian artists promote their music with a God-first approach. He’s also building a catalog of music meant to reflect his testimony, not just his talent. Essential listening if you need proof that God still changes lives, reorders priorities, and can turn your past into part of the message.

    Life is Messy, But God is Faithful | Aaron Kostich | Ep. 29

    Intro song: "Need" by Jay Manwell Outro song: "All I Need" by Jordan May Summary A Christian testimony that starts with rebellion, passes through a life-changing encounter with God, and keeps unfolding through real-world provision, healing, and moments that feel unmistakably supernatural. Aaron shares the story behind his transformation - from a private-school kid chasing approval, girls, sports, and trouble to a man learning how Jesus actually changes us from the inside out. What makes this conversation compelling is the honesty. Aaron doesn’t paint a highlight reel. He talks about growing up around church without being changed by God, the slow drift into pride and anger, and the moment everything shifted in a shower while he was preparing a project on the love of God. That experience made the gospel feel real in a way lectures and classes never had. We break down the specific turning points that shaped his faith, including: - A Bible teacher who talked about God like a best friend - The first moment Aaron says he truly encountered God’s presence - The college years of Bible studies, missed steps, and spiritual momentum - A solo 18-day backpacking trip through Europe that became a crash course in learning to hear God Aaron also reflects on how easy it is to forget who you used to be once God starts changing you, and why incremental transformation often matters more than the dramatic moments people tend to celebrate. If you’ve ever wondered whether faith is supposed to feel real, or whether change can actually run deeper than behavior, this episode will meet you there. Aaron is a believer and storyteller whose journey spans Christian upbringing, a radical personal encounter with God, and years of walking out faith in everyday life. Perfect for anyone who wants an honest, unpolished story of how Jesus changes a life - not just in one moment, but over years.

    "There's So Much More to God" | Trosper Buchanan | Ep. 28

    Trosper's Instagram (@trosperbuchanan): https://www.instagram.com/trosperbuchanan/ Trosper's X (@trosperbuchanan): https://x.com/trosperbuchanan Intro song: "More Than Enough" by Ryan Ellis, Lee Vasi Outro song: "More of You" by Jaxamilli, Ketsia Banza Summary Most Christians are leaving breakthrough on the table because they treat God like He’s limited. Trosper Buchanan shares the radical shift that changed everything—from fear of man and identity confusion to a life marked by bold obedience, answered prayer, and real spiritual power. As an assistant football coach at the University of Kentucky, Trosper traces his story from an early childhood faith to a high school season of double life, depression, and a crushing identity crisis. The turning point comes when a biology class question about human extinction forces him to confront purpose, meaning, and the reality that he was made for something far bigger than popularity, performance, or approval. From there, he opens up about what changed when he stopped compartmentalizing faith and started surrendering everything—relationships, future plans, prayer, career, and even his words. He shares how a small college ministry grew from 8 students to roughly 300, how prayer helped shape the UniteUs event at Rupp Arena, and why a 40-mile Jericho walk became one of the boldest acts of faith he’s ever seen. You'll discover: - Why “college is for ministry” changes the way you think about school, work, and your future - How Mark 10 reframes surrender as multiplication, not loss - What it looks like to pray with honesty instead of trying to control outcomes - Why evangelism is not optional, and why awkward obedience often opens the biggest doors A major part of the conversation centers on identity—the difference between living for man’s approval and living as God’s chosen possession. Trosper also shares a gripping testimony from Auburn, where a casual encounter with a heartbroken student led to an hour-long gospel conversation, a follow-up discipleship journey, and a baptism trip from Maryland to Kentucky. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck between wanting to follow Jesus and still holding tightly to control. If you’ve ever wondered whether God really sees you, speaks to you, or can use your ordinary life in extraordinary ways, this conversation will challenge you, encourage you, and call you to stop playing small.

    We Imperfectly Serve a Perfect God | Samuel Harness | Ep. 27

    Samuel Harness' Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4IurroJbsfB9oj5HsJ6k9P?si=arZpvgNVRwuFyyAlkNb8Dg All of Samuel's music is streaming everywhere! Samuel's linktree: https://linktr.ee/SamuelHarness Intro: "God i need you" by Samuel Harness Outro: "RIP" by Samuel Harness Summary What if your anxiety, depression, and even your worst seasons weren’t disqualifying you - but positioning you to help someone else survive theirs? Samuel opens up about the moment everything changed, how fatherhood forced him to confront his life, and how his relationship with God became a constant conversation instead of a Sunday-only routine. A raw, honest, and deeply personal conversation about faith without performance, healing without pretending, and what it really means to follow Jesus when you still struggle with pride, addiction, insecurity, and fear. Samuel shares how becoming a father reshaped his view of God’s love, why he refuses to “play the game” of looking polished, and how authenticity became one of the most powerful parts of his testimony. This interview also presses into the hard questions - pride, judgment, motive, and what a “before and after” life with God actually looks like when the struggle is still real. The conversation gets especially powerful as Samuel shares two recent moments that made God’s orchestration feel impossible to ignore: one in a hotel lobby with a stranger searching for God, and another in the middle of disturbing dreams that ultimately exposed something deeper about unforgiveness and self-condemnation. If you’ve ever felt stuck between faith and mess, called and conflicted, or tired of pretending you have it all together, this episode is for you. It’s honest, encouraging, and full of the kind of testimony that reminds you God is still working in the middle of the chaos. Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:55 Growing Up 11:32 The Beginning of "Constant Conversation with God" 16:12 Authenticity and Transparency 21:39 Pride 25:23 Before and After Following Christ 30:29 The Power of Music 37:07 Collaborations 40:18 Christian Music 45:00 Authenticity in Music 52:52 Divine Appointment! 58:01 Crazy Dreams and Forgiveness

    God Rescues us from our Deepest Pit | Adam Thompson | Ep. 26

    Mentioned Books "Surprised by Joy" by C.S. Lewis "Out of the Shadows: Understanding Sexual Addiction" by Patrick Carnes, Ph.D. "Not the Way It's Supposed to Be: A Breviary of Sin" by Cornelius Plantinga, Jr. "God Loves Sex: An Honest Conversation about Sexual Desire and Holiness" by Dan Allender and Tremper Longman III "The Incarnation of God: The Mystery of the Gospel as the Foundation of Evangelical Theology" by John C. Clark and Marcus Peter Johnson Intro song: "Only You" by Nofsky, Sydni Alexander Outro song: "King of Kings" by JXYD3N, Jx.Zero Summary Loneliness, worthlessness, and boredom can drive a person into hidden bondage, but grace can break the cycle. Adam shares the raw story of how a lifelong quest for joy, beauty, and transcendence eventually exposed the idols and addictions that were shaping his life. Raised in a Christian home, Adam thought he understood faith, but beneath the surface he was wrestling with shame, secrecy, and a desperate search for something bigger than this world. What begins with childhood wonder over Pokemon, X-Men, and The Lord of the Rings turns into a hard look at desire, idolatry, confession, and the long road back to God. You’ll hear how C. S. Lewis’ "Surprised by Joy" gave Adam language for an ache he had felt since childhood, why friendship and honesty became turning points in his freedom, and how books like "Out of the Shadows", "God Loves Sex", and "The Incarnation of God" reshaped his understanding of sin, sex, embodiment, and the incarnation of Christ. He also explains why Psalm 16:7-11 became a summary of his whole life: not just rescue from darkness, but the discovery that in God’s presence is fullness of joy. Adam also reflects on what helped him move forward: community, confession, silence, solitude, and learning to live with purpose instead of distraction. If you’re fighting hidden sin, questioning your hunger for meaning, or wondering whether your desires point to something deeper, this conversation offers both honesty and hope. Adam is a former Moody Bible Institute student and Chicago doorman turned maintenance worker who speaks candidly about addiction, theological formation, and the slow work of spiritual transformation. His story is a powerful reminder that the things we chase for joy often become signposts pointing us to Christ. Perfect for anyone who wants a deeply honest testimony about addiction, masculinity, friendship, and finding lasting joy in Jesus Christ.
