Ramona Trevino and Blossoms of My Life Podcast

From Under The Bridge To Recovery with Author and Speaker Blossom Rogers

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] She slept under a bridge, chased a $500-a-day habit, and cycled through jails and rehabs, then built a life that now helps other people get free. We’re joined by Blossom Rogers, a certified peer specialist and recovery support specialist, who shares a raw, faith-filled story of crack cocaine and alcohol addiction, childhood trauma, prison, and the long road to 21 years clean and sober. We talk about what trauma does to identity, why “filling the void” with relationships never works, and how forgiveness and self-forgiveness can break generational cycles. Blossom walks us through her rock-bottom moment in a crack house, writing a letter to God, checking into a hospital, and taking the step to relocate for treatment. We also get practical about sobriety boundaries, triggers, and why some of us cannot pick up “just one” without sliding back into the old life. Then we look forward: her books, her documentary and film awards, and the nonprofit dream to build a safe home for women and children coming off the streets. If you’re searching for addiction recovery help, peer support, faith-based healing, or a story that proves relapse doesn’t get the final word, this conversation is for you.

From Life Sentence To New Life with Pastor Thomas Jordan

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] A teenager gets sentenced to life, spends 21 years in prison, then walks out with a message of hope. That is the road Thomas Jordan has lived, and our conversation goes straight into the honest details: what changed, what stayed hard, and what faith looks like when there is no easy exit. We talk about salvation behind bars and the part people skip, the daily work of staying anchored when you are saved but still surrounded by pressure. Thomas shares the moment a prison church service flipped his motives, how he began learning Scripture for himself, and why he believes God can break cycles that look permanent. If you care about prison ministry, Christian testimony, and faith-based transformation, you will hear a story that is both raw and deeply practical. Then we move into reentry and spiritual warfare: the shock of coming home, the pull of old environments, and how quickly temptation can find you. We also unpack identity in Christ, the “who told you?” question that exposes lies, and the power of words to shape a future. We close with a focused prayer for listeners who are incarcerated, in despair, or battling suicidal thoughts. If you know someone who needs deliverance, second chances, or a reason to keep going, share this conversation with them.

Interview with Author Yvonne Denise Hicks

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] Revival is not an abstract idea to admire from a distance. We sit down with Yvonne, an apostolic leader and long-time watchman intercessor, to talk about what actually shifts a community: worship that stays, prayer that listens, and outreach that trains people into lasting change. Yvonne traces her journey from Philadelphia evangelism and prayer walks to a defining open vision where worship and intercession break through spiritual resistance and transform an atmosphere. From there we dig into what “watchman” work looks like on the ground: researching the roots of a region, identifying blessings worth reclaiming, naming wounds that still shape a community, and responding with repentance, Scripture, and steady prayer. If you’ve been searching for practical Christian spiritual warfare, prophetic prayer, or how to pursue a Great Awakening in modern life, this conversation gives you language and next steps without hype. We also talk about being positioned for assignment, including Yvonne’s sense of calling along the I-40 corridor and why local engagement matters, especially with families, schools, and the values shaping children. Along the way we unpack spiritual authority for every believer, the role of the Holy Spirit as Helper, and testimonies of restoration that touch real life, including finances, hope, and healing from addiction and despair.

What If Your Voice Is Someone Else’s Miracle - Interview with Anna Lugo

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] A single phrase can change the way you move through the world. When Anna Barboza-Lugo put “Up To You God” on her license plate, she did not expect it to become a lifelong thread connecting prayer, purpose, healing, and bold faith. Now living near the shore, she writes the words in the sand each morning with the date and adds simple messages meant to reach whoever happens to walk by. Some smile. Some cry. Some whisper a thank you to God. Watching that happen reminds us that Christian encouragement does not have to be complicated to be real. We talk about what it means to be “rich” when money is not the main measure. Anna shares how Jeremiah 29:11 shapes her view of prosperity as peace, health, love, forgiveness, and a future filled with hope. We also dig into the cost of silence and the work of learning to speak. Anna explains how it took her decades to use her voice, how boundaries helped her heal, and why prayer becomes more powerful when we dare to say the hard things out loud and still surrender the outcome. You will also hear about her books, including Unleash Her Voice, created with dozens of authors, plus the heart behind her generosity for single mothers and people who know scarcity firsthand. We even get into faith driven entrepreneurship through Pure Love Travel and the idea of building generational wealth without losing your center. If you need motivation, a reminder to pray, or a nudge to use your voice with courage, press play.
