The Devil Keeps Coming for You Because You're Chosen

Ever wonder why it feels like the enemy won't let up? In this episode of Truth Be Told, Darwin and Yolanda Benjamin unpack the spiritual reality behind relentless battles. It's not always because you've made a mistake. Sometimes it's because you're marked. Darwin dives deep into the idea that being chosen by God isn't just about favor—it's about carrying something the enemy fears. If you weren't carrying weight in the Spirit, he wouldn't be fighting so hard to stop you. Darwin explains how being chosen means being targeted. You don't get to fly under the radar when you're carrying covenant. Yolanda shares honestly about what it's like to stay faithful when things don't look like they're working. Together, they bring clarity to the difference between being picked and being prepared, and why resistance often comes right before release. Truth be told… the devil doesn't come after the ones who are empty. He comes for the ones who are carrying something.

Bold Love, Simple Gospel

It's not about being polished—it's about being present. In this episode, Darwin and Yolanda Benjamin share how the power of the gospel comes alive in ordinary moments with ordinary people. From a road rage encounter that turned into a roadside salvation to leading a stranger to Christ at a department store, this conversation is full of real-life stories that prove evangelism isn't just for pulpits. It's for parking lots, break rooms, hotel lobbies, and everywhere in between. They break down the fear that stops many believers from speaking up and offer a refreshing reminder that you don't need perfect words or perfect timing—just a heart full of love and a willingness to obey. This is for anyone who's ever asked how to lead someone to Jesus or wondered if they were bold enough to try. Darwin explains the simple questions he asks strangers, how the Holy Spirit gives language in the moment, and why soul-winning isn't a formula. It's a lifestyle. Yolanda opens up about wanting to grow in boldness and how evangelism isn't about guilt. It's about love in action. If you've ever been afraid to speak up or felt unqualified to share your faith, this episode will stir your spirit and challenge your comfort zone. Truth be told… it doesn't take a preacher to preach Jesus. Just someone willing to love boldly.

What If God Sent You for the One?

And together, they testify to the God who orchestrates every detail, redeems every mistake, and never wastes our obedience. This episode is for anyone who's ever questioned whether their small yes matters. Truth be told… if Heaven rejoices over one, maybe that's the only number that ever mattered.
