    Nikki Casanova: Trying to Be Good Enough to Be Loved (Testimony) | EP #82 (Pt 1)

    Nikki Casanova was ten years old when her mother told her who she was; an identity she struggled with for most of her life. In Part 1 of her testimony, Nikki shares the story of her childhood. Marked by rejection, abuse, and loss she couldn't grieve. Not knowing how to earn the love she craved, the patterns she longed to escape began surfacing in her own life. This is a story about the wounds we carry, the identities others place on us, and the questions that follow us into adulthood. ▶ Pt 2 - Available 9/21/26. _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast🎙: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.

    Chris Hensley: His Greatest Trial, Met by an Unexplainable Peace (Testimony) | EP #81 (Pt 2)

    Chris Hensley had only just found his footing in faith when his body started sending signals he couldn't ignore — and the diagnosis that followed reset everything he thought he understood about control. In Part 2 of his testimony, Chris opens up about his greatest trial, the journey that changed his perspective, and an unexpected calling on his and Claudia's home. Through it all, something steadied him that he can't fully explain, though he knew all along the source from whence it came. This is a story about the power of prayer and the peace of God. ▶ Pt 1 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/7c26sgzKBYkAWGP072ArAM?si=jU5RXf0OSl6qJassJ-5jjA _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast🎙: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.

    Chris Hensley: Going Through the Motions, Until He Fell to His Knees (Testimony) | EP #80 (Pt 1)

    In his childhood, Chris Hensley had brushes with church. Methodist with his own family, Pentecostal with the friends across the street, but the experience ranged from ok to scary. In Part 1 of his testimony, Chris opens up about decades where God simply wasn't part of the picture, the season his wife Claudia decided she was ready for that to change, and his honest admission that he professed the same, but didn't think he was at the same place. Then, on an ordinary night, with a song playing in another room, something broke through that Chris still can't explain; he only knows that afterward, he needed Jesus, in his own words, to fix him. This is a story about a God who shows up before we are looking for Him. ▶ Pt 2 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6nxus0dW4BRhW0LxJGR2au?si=AxRu4aJuTFqeSLrdDJdLFQ _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast🎙: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.

    Sandy Bond: I Was Looking in People for What Only He Could Give (Testimony) | EP #79 (Part 2)

    Sandy Bond had spent her whole life agreeing with the facts about Jesus — but it wasn't until she was in her thirties that He finally became personal. In Part 2 of her testimony, Sandy opens up about the safe places she had always found "people collecting", the tender way God revealed that He was the one safe place she could never lose, and the call He gave her once she learned to lean on Him. Then loss visited her family again — and this time she was carried by a peace she still can't fully explain. This is a story about the one safe place that can never be taken away. ▶ Part 1 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6WLKwYnXG86s2nK2GP8vKR?si=6ghw2k8BTViGRRE1i2pSOQ Sandy Bond is a Licensed Professional Counselor who founded and leads Cypresswood Christian Counseling in Houston, walking with individuals, couples, and families through grief, trauma, anxiety, and life-threatening illness.

    Sandy Bond: Grieving Alone With a Jesus I Had Never Really Met (Testimony) | EP #78 (Part 1)

    Sandy Bond was still a little girl when she learned how quickly everything can be taken away — and by the time she was a teenager, grief had already reshaped who she was. In Part 1 of her testimony, Sandy opens up about the losses that marked her childhood, the walls she built to survive them, and a season years into her marriage that had her wanting to walk away. In the middle of her lowest moment, something happened that she still can't fully explain — a moment so perfectly timed, the only possible answer, is God. This is a story about what's still standing when everything else falls apart. ▶ Pt 2 coming out 8/24/26_________Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast🎙:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperienceSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperienceX: https://x.com/JesusXperienceTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.expInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience_________LIKE.

    David Ayala: What It Cost Me to Come Home (Testimony) | EP #77 (Pt 3)

    The more David grew in his walk, the more there was for him to do For three years he served out of love. Somewhere in the fourth it stopped being ministry and started being work, but he kept saying yes anyway. By the time he walked out the door, he'd convinced himself God had told him to. This is the part of a testimony nobody tells. ▶ Pt 1 https://open.spotify.com/episode/3HINaL3iTA0vXt3aYdDL2D?si=38kI_I3NTKWmJGCAEcyCgg ▶ Pt 2 https://open.spotify.com/episode/5I0ddA0BBV4o7wLClyrKxW?si=lP_KF7KnTG68KF2UV2RC-Q _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast🎙: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.

    David Ayala: The Night I Finally Asked If He Was Real, and He Answered (Testimony) | EP #76 (Pt 2)

    Banned from every school in his district, David had one door left — and it closed too. He was, they said, a threat to their children. His mother was ready to move them into a converted warehouse to pay for a school that had already turned him away, and she was still praying about it when the phone rang again. ▶ Pt 1 https://open.spotify.com/episode/3HINaL3iTA0vXt3aYdDL2D?si=38kI_I3NTKWmJGCAEcyCgg ▶ Pt 3 https://open.spotify.com/episode/1HcSvoSj9d1oTBz3QoSy5n?si=XulgKCfPQEiznYOgcxd7yg _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast🎙: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.
