    Meth to Miracle Dad | Bryan Sandella

    After years of meth, prison, and losing his family, Bryan surrendered his son to God. Then one text changed everything. After years of cooking and selling meth, he hit rock bottom and served two years in prison. There, he found Jesus, married his wife after release, and began rebuilding his life. He shares the pain of losing nearly everything, including his relationship with his son, who once told a judge he didn’t want to see him. That moment forced Bryan to confront his motives and learn to love without expecting anything in return. He surrendered his son to God and after eight years of silence, received a life-changing text: “Yo, Dad.” This is a story of forgiveness, faith, and the power of surrender.

    Quit Watering Weeds | Dray Stewart

    In this episode of Escaping the Chains, Dray Stewart (ft. Trustie) shares a story that goes beyond testimony—into what it actually looks like to hit rock bottom and encounter real change. But what hits hardest isn’t just the story… It’s this line:  “Quit watering weeds.” How many things are getting time, energy, and attention… that aren’t producing anything? This conversation gets into:  What faith actually looks like when it costs something  The tension between providing vs calling  Why “good” isn’t always “God”  What it means to finally take the step and jump For anyone feeling stuck, comfortable, or unsure what the next move is—this one will challenge that.

    Eli Yoder was raised Old Order Amish in one of the most strict communities, where life was defined by rules, control, and tradition.
