    Ex-Satanist Turned Pastor Talks About Forgiveness, Parenthood, & Faith

    In this episode, Pastor Josef shares a story that is almost impossible to believe. Growing up in a home filled with abuse, violence, and fear, he carried a deep hatred toward his father from a very young age. By the age of seven, he had already decided that one day he would kill him. What followed was a life shaped by anger, revenge, and a constant fear of becoming the very man he despised. This conversation is about trauma, forgiveness, redemption, and the power of breaking generational cycles. We also dive into Pastor Josef's journey from violence and darkness to faith and healing. He opens up about his experiences with witchcraft, how a simple invitation to a Bible study changed the course of his life, and the difficult process of forgiving a father who never knew the depth of his son's pain. As a pastor, husband, and father, he shares the lessons he learned about identity, faith, fatherhood, and what it truly means to heal from the wounds of the past. We discuss: • Growing up in an abusive household • Why he feared becoming a husband and father • The moment he decided he wanted to kill his father • Why forgiveness took years to happen • The conversation that changed his relationship with his father forever • Breaking generational cycles of abuse • What fatherhood has taught him about God's love If you've ever struggled with family wounds, forgiveness, resentment, or the fear of becoming the person who hurt you... this episode is for you.

    if you're seeing this, this is your sign to trust the timing of God

    today’s episode is about trusting the timing of your life, especially when everything feels uncertain. i share a personal story about hitting another rock bottom, feeling overwhelmed by life and business, and how one unexpected moment completely changed the direction of things. sometimes the breakthrough comes after the breakdown. sometimes the answer comes after you've exhausted every option. and sometimes the only thing left to do is trust that everything is unfolding exactly as it should. if you're in a season of waiting, i hope this episode reminds you to trust the timing.

    breaking generational beliefs before my child is born

    today’s episode is a really personal one. i’ve been reflecting a lot on the limiting beliefs and generational patterns i don’t want to pass down to my child. as someone preparing to become a first-time dad, i’ve been thinking deeply about trauma, love, failure, and the kind of mindset i want to build in my own family. this episode is less about having all the answers and more about choosing to become more aware so we can break cycles instead of repeating them.
