TESTIMONY STRONGEpisode: Todd Mizer – From Self-Reliance to Total Surrender

You can survive the military, build a career, and still be losing the battle inside. EPISODE PREMISE Todd Mizer spent years believing success came from grit, discipline, and handling everything on his own. A Marine Corps veteran, husband, father, and successful professional, he had survived friendly fire, near-death military training accidents, and built a successful civilian career—but when the loss of his grandmother sent him into deep depression, everything he trusted in himself collapsed. In this powerful episode of Testimony Strong, Todd shares the night one desperate prayer changed everything. His story is about more than overcoming addiction or depression—it's about discovering that Jesus had been walking beside him through every battle, even when he never acknowledged Him. In this episode, you'll discover: • Recognize how pride and self-reliance can quietly keep you from asking for help—even when you're surrounded by people who love you. • Hear the powerful moment Todd surrendered decades of pain, addiction, and control through one heartfelt prayer that forever changed his life. • Learn why Todd walked away from alcohol, marijuana, prescription dependence, pornography, and his old identity after encountering Christ. • See how one person's transformation became an entire family's testimony as Todd, his wife Michelle, and their two children were baptized together and built a Christ-centered home. About Todd Mizer Todd Mizer is a United States Marine Corps veteran and co-founder of Strativ LLC, where he serves as an Enterprise Portfolio Management consultant. After years of believing he could carry life's burdens alone, Todd experienced a radical encounter with Jesus Christ that completely transformed his life. Today he is passionate about discipling others, leading his family in faith, and sharing the hope that no one is too far gone for God's grace. "I walked away from all of it that night after that prayer... including porn. Completely gave it up. All I listen to now is Christian music. You talk about a complete 180—it completely changed me."
