Joshua opens up about the wounds left by growing up without a father, the chase for money and affirmation that never satisfied, and the deep anxiety and depression that followed. He candidly reflects on the pain his choices caused his mother and the lies he believed about his worth. Ultimately, Joshua tells how God used a single encounter—and a woman who pointed him to Jesus—to reveal the true freedom his heart was longing for. His story is a powerful reminder that surrendering to Christ is where real life begins.

In this powerful episode, Johnny shares with Pastor Jonas Hill about how God met him in that broken place and began to heal his heart.
