Episode 33-From Darkness to Freedom in Christ with Joshua Broome

In this episode, pastor and author Joshua Broome joins Pastor Jonas Hill to share his remarkable journey from the pornography industry to a life transformed by Christ. 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.

Episode 32-When God Breaks Through the Control: Dr. Johnny Parker’s Story of Healing

From the outside, Johnny Parker’s life looked picture-perfect—a bestselling author, speaker, husband, and dad. But behind the scenes, he was battling anxiety, control issues, and fear of vulnerability. 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. He talks about learning true strength—not the kind defined by image or performance, but by humility and heart—and how being honest with his wife, friends, and God transformed his life. Drawing from his book Frontstage Backstage, Johnny offers practical steps for overcoming burnout and panic, reminding us that real healing begins when we let God into the parts we’ve tried hardest to hide.
