    The "Mannimal" Chase Mann Shares His Story | Raised in Chaos, Built For Greatness | EP 19 |

    In this episode of The Testimony Podcast, we sit down with Chase Mann to hear one of the most intense and inspiring stories we’ve featured so far. Raised throughout small towns in Arkansas including Bono, Walnut Ridge, and Paragould, Chase found himself in trouble with the law and involved with CYS at only 9 years old. During that time, he was sent to a children’s home that, despite having God’s name attached to it, showed him very little goodness. At just 9 years old, he was coaxed into what he describes as a childhood fight club inside the facility. In only 30 days, he witnessed and experienced things many people never see in their entire lives. When his parents finally saw him during his first visitation, they immediately pulled him out of the program. As he got older, Chase stepped into the role of quarterback for his high school football team, marking the first time he truly felt all eyes on him. After graduating, he received multiple college football offers, but decided he needed time away from school to adjust to adult life. During that period, he fell into addiction and nearly ended up in jail. Everything began to change when he entered Shepherd’s Fold, a rehab program that helped him refocus on what mattered most: his daughter and his future. After recovery, Chase pursued powerlifting, turning a hobby into something that nearly became a career. But eventually, another path opened in front of him, one he believes God placed directly in his hands. He began training at The LC  in the small Arkansas town of Walnut Ridge, and quickly discovered a passion for fighting. After going 5-0 as an amateur and earning a massive knockout victory in West Memphis, Arkansas, Chase received an opportunity with ONE Championship! Now, only a couple fights into his professional career, he’s traveling the world living out his dream, with many believing he has the potential to become a future WORLD CHAMPION. This is a story about pain, redemption, discipline, fatherhood, faith, and finding purpose when life seemed completely off track. Chase is an incredible young man with a huge future in the MMA world, and through it all, he continues to keep God at the forefront of his journey. 🙏

    A chat with Adan "Outlaw" Olveda: Co-Host of The CounterCult Podcast

    This week on The Testimony Podcast, we’re taking a different approach. I’m sitting down with Adan “Outlaw” Olveda, co-host of Countercult Podcast, for a conversation that many men never have out loud. We discuss the mental battles men often face in silence.. The pressure, the internal struggles, and the thoughts that rarely get shared. We also talk through the real effects of medications like Seroquel & other antidepressants, speaking from personal experience rather than theory. No script. No filter. Just an honest conversation.  If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying something internally that others don’t see, this conversation may resonate with you.

    Hank Parish: From Conspiracies to Christ | Host of the Soldiers of Christ, Arise! podcast shares his Testimony | EP 17 |

    Hank joins us to share a raw and powerful story of pain, redemption, and transformation. Growing up in Greenville, Mississippi. He attended a very small school and spent much of his childhood watching alcohol abuse tear a hole in his family. Those early years left wounds that followed him long after childhood. Later, after moving to Wilson, Hank faced another life-altering moment when he was falsely accused of bringing a gun to school and was labeled a school shooter. Authorities searched him and found nothing, but the damage of the accusations, his home getting ransacked by law enforcement, and having to deal with life after such a traumatizing event, left him feeling broken. Not long after, Hank lost his father. Trying to cope with grief and everything he had carried for years, he began searching for ways to numb the pain. He joined the Military but was later released after failing a DT before he ever stepped foot into training. When he returned home, addiction only deepened, leading him into a dark season that nearly cost him his life. But Hank’s story didn’t end there. He eventually met the woman he is with today, built an amazing family, and began rebuilding his life. From there, he launched 6+4+3 Double Play and later became part of the Sunday Night Secret Society podcast with Chef Kyle. The same platform that gave me my first podcast appearance! What began as a search through pain, conspiracy, and unanswered questions eventually became something much deeper. Today, Hank uses his voice to share faith, hope, and the message of Jesus Christ through his new podcast Soldiers of Christ, Arise. Sometimes the darkest roads lead to the greatest redemption. https://linktr.ee/thetestimonypodcast

    When your SPOUSE feels like a STRANGER... | EP 15 |

    In this episode of The Testimony Podcast, Alex sits down with his wife for an honest conversation about something many couples experience but rarely talk about openly. Emotional disconnection in marriage. Sometimes marriages don’t fall apart because of one major event. Instead, the distance grows slowly through stress, busy schedules, unspoken frustrations, & moments where connection stops being intentional. Through scripture, recovery principles, & real-life perspective, this episode explores how couples can recognize emotional drift, rebuild connection, & fight for unity in their relationship. We discuss the importance of humility, communication, forgiveness, & keeping God at the center of marriage because as scripture reminds us, a cord of three strands is not easily broken.  If you've ever felt like your relationship started to feel more like roommates than partners, this conversation is for you. Stay until the end as we also share powerful thoughts from fellow podcasters & discuss how growth, sacrifice, & intentional love can strengthen a marriage over time. When this episode ends, head over to **The Trebles Show where Alex will be joining a live panel with multiple podcasters from different fields sharing some of the most mind-blowing theories & ideas out there.

    EP 14 | Dani Mercy: Host of The Rabbit Hole Conspiracy Theories

    In this episode of The Testimony Podcast, Dani Mercy: Host of The Rabbit Hole Conspiracy Theories shares her story. Before the platform. Before the rabbit hole. && Before the conspiracy conversations. Dani joined the Navy at a young age, stepping into what she believed would be structure, purpose, & opportunity. During her time in service, she experienced something that shifted the trajectory of her life. An unexpected & UNWANTED betrayal that left her fighting not just for justice, but for her own peace of mind. When she attempted to pursue accountability, she found herself up against a system that felt more resistant than protective. What followed were panic attacks, medical discharge, & a season where everything felt uncertain. But that WASN'T the end! During that same chapter of her life, she met her husband. Her safe place, her steady ground, the one who reminded her of her strength when she couldn’t see it herself. Instead of staying silent, Dani chose to speak. She launched her first podcast to advocate for other women who had faced similar experiences. Though that platform eventually disappeared, her voice did not. Today, she reaches people through conversations about conspiracies. Using those discussions as a doorway to talk about deeper truths, real-world harm, && the stories many are afraid to confront. This episode is about resilience & finding your voice after silence. How sometimes the rabbit hole starts long before the microphone turns on.

    EP 12 | Why is EVERY Marriage Search about Fixing the marriage, and Not Growing it?! (Valentines Day Special)

    This Valentine’s Day episode is a little different because my lovely wife joins me as the co-host for an honest conversation about marriage. && We started noticing something… Almost every search online is about fixing marriage: “How do I save it?” “How do we stop fighting?” “How do we repair what’s broken?” But what if marriage was never meant to be a constant emergency project? Last second repair before it falls apart. In this special episode, we talk about why modern relationships have shifted repair phase instead of trying to grow it stronger before it even fauters. What it looks like to build a marriage that’s not just surviving, but actually Thriving. This isn’t about perfection. Because we are far from that! It's about building a strong marital foundation. It’s about choosing growth before you ever reach the breaking point.Whether you’re dating, newly married, struggling, or stronger than ever… this conversation is for you.Happy Valentine’s Day from The Testimony Podcast ❤️
