Description:
What happens when a man who’s been to the edge—and nearly didn’t come back—chooses not just to survive, but to lead others into healing? In this powerful episode of Heal to Heal, host Kathleen Johnson welcomes Rory Paquette: husband, father, multi-podcast host, coach, speaker, and walking testimony to the redemptive power of God. Rory’s story is one of unimaginable pain—abuse, trauma, spiritual doubt, financial ruin, near-death experiences—and the fierce love that helped pull him back from the brink. Rory opens up about a childhood marked by violence, his battle with anger toward God, and a moment of crisis that nearly ended it all. But at rock bottom, something miraculous happened—and it launched him on a path toward purpose, healing, and calling. At the heart of that journey? His wife, Andrea—“a wife of noble character is her husband’s crown” (Proverbs 12:4)—who became exactly that in every sense. Her unwavering faith, quiet strength, and fierce loyalty weren’t just a support—they were a lifeline. When Rory couldn’t pray, she prayed. When he lost sight of hope, she held the vision. She stood in the gap, helped raised their sons in the faith, and actively cultivated a home that reflected God’s promises—even while Rory was still battling his pain. Her presence, perseverance, and partnership shaped not only his healing and their marriage, but the spiritual legacy of their children. Together, they now walk in a united purpose—a living portrait of how beautiful a Christian marriage can be when both partners pursue God’s design for love, family, and restoration. What they now share is more than a marriage—it’s a living portrait of God’s design for covenant love: redemptive, resilient, and rooted in grace. Together, they are a testimony of how beautiful a Christian marriage can be when both partners walk in God’s purpose, even through pain. You’ll also hear: • How forgiveness finally came after decades—and why it unlocked his spiritual breakthrough • The moment God literally knocked him off his feet in divine intervention • Why he created The Power of Man to ensure no man ever feels as alone as he once did • How Wake Up the Lions became a bold space for unfiltered Christian voices • Why podcasting has become his ministry—and how he now empowers others to share their truth • His quiet, determined goal: to give back to his wife and help others rise This isn’t just a testimony—it’s a wake-up call for anyone who feels too far gone, too broken, or too angry to be used by God. If you’re seeking hope, purpose, or simply the reminder that healing is possible—this conversation is for you. 📲 Follow Rory on Facebook for coaching, podcast updates, and encouragement: https://www.facebook.com/rory.paquette GET THE BOOK Heal to Heal - https://a.co/d/i97Q4rU 👋🏼 GET IN TOUCH www.healedtoheal.com www.kathleenjohnsonministries.com 📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/scripturegirls/ 📸 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@SwordSpiritPowerforLife Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kathleenjohnsonhealtoheal 🎧 LISTEN FOR FREE Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healed-to-heal/id1847944534 RSS - https://feeds.podcastle.ai/14bf8bff-7783-4555-a257-4eb112b2d0db.rss 🙏 LEAVE A REVIEW If this episode stirred your faith or sparked hope, would you take 30 seconds to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts?
