    From Exploitation to Redemption: Trafficked at 17, a Supernatural Encounter with God, and a Life Transformed

    She was trafficked at 17, attempted suicide, lost everything in a hurricane, and God refused to let go. Jeanne Roberson’s story is a powerful God story and one of the most raw and redemptive personal faith journeys you’ll hear. This is more than a testimony, it’s a real account of what happens when someone experiences God in the middle of brokenness. Jeanne was groomed at 17 and spent the next 21 years in the adult entertainment industry. At 27, she had a supernatural encounter with God that revealed the reality of what she was living in, a moment that would begin to change everything. She battled addiction, survived a suicide attempt, and lost everything she owned to a hurricane. But through it all, God kept showing up, through miracle provision, healing, and undeniable moments where she could hear God guiding her path forward. This episode is a powerful Christian testimony of redemption, healing, and transformation. It’s a reminder that no matter your past, you can still experience God, hear His voice, and step into a completely new life. Today, Jeanne is an author of Shattered for Glory, works with strip club ministries, and serves survivors through outreach and advocacy, helping others find the same freedom she did. If you’ve ever wondered if your past story disqualifies you from God’s plan, this miracle story will show you that it actually equips you to help others more effectively.

    Todd Coconato: Stabbed 9 Times, He Heard God’s Voice & Miraculously Survived

    When Todd Coconato was a child actor in Hollywood, he thought he was living the dream. He was surrounded by celebrities, parties, and everything the world calls success. But none of that mattered the night he was stabbed nine times, including once in the heart, and bleeding out in his car. In this powerful conversation, Todd shares how, in that moment between life and death, he heard the audible voice of God ask him one question that changed everything. Todd and Christina discuss his early years in Hollywood, the emptiness behind the lifestyle, the night of the attack, the miraculous way doctors said he should not be alive, and the moment he surrendered to God’s call on his life. He also shares how God led him into pastoral ministry, his work as an evangelist and broadcaster, and his heart for a “remnant” of believers who refuse to bow to the culture. If you’ve ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, felt caught between two lives, or asked if God can really redeem your story, Todd’s testimony will give you hope and remind you that God still speaks, still saves, and still performs miracles. In this episode, we cover: Todd’s journey from Hollywood sets to a near-death experienceThe night he was stabbed 9 times and heard God speakWhy survival was only the beginning of his transformationHow God called him into ministry and what he’s doing todayEncouragement for anyone who feels too far gone or “in between” Connect with Todd Coconato:Website: https://toddcoconato.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RealToddCoconato Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toddcoconatoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ToddCoconato Connect with Christina Smith & Witness the Wonder:Website: https://ChristinaSmithOfficial.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Christina.Smith00/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/witnessthewonder YouTube: https://youtube.com/@witnessthewonder If you believe in what we’re building through Witness the Wonder and want to help these stories reach more people, you can learn more and support the show at:https://ChristinaSmithOfficial.com #ToddCoconato #ChristianTestimony #MiracleStory #Stabbed9Times #NearDeathExperience #HearingGodsVoice #GodSpoke #FromHollywoodToJesus #ChristianPodcast #FaithStories #RedemptionStory #JesusSaves #GodStillHeals #SpiritualAwakening #WitnessTheWonder #ChildActor #Hollywood

  8. Finding the Blessing in Failure | Pastor Duke White Jr.

    Finding the Blessing in Failure | Pastor Duke White Jr.

    Host Christina Smith sits down with Pastor Duke White Jr. for an honest conversation about failure and the unexpected way God uses it to transform our lives. Together, they explore how failure is not the end of the story but often the place where faith, surrender, and community become essential. Duke shares personal insights on the pressure of comparison, the temptation to measure success by performance, and the freedom that comes when failure is redefined through the lens of God’s purpose. This conversation also unpacks why community matters in seasons of uncertainty, how rest is not a sign of weakness, and what it looks like to trust God when life feels out of your control. Through personal stories, biblical insight, and thoughtful reflection, Christina and Duke invite listeners to see failure differently, not as disqualification, but as a doorway to deeper faith, resilience, and connection. If you have ever felt stuck, inadequate, or unsure of what God is doing in your life, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and that God is always at work in your story. Follow Witness the Wonder for more honest conversations about faith, resilience, and recognizing God at work in everyday life.
