Episode 73: God is always good! A Christian redemption story
Key Verse
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Philippians 4:13
Life can feel heavy, unpredictable, and full of moments that leave us wondering where God is in the middle of our pain. In this episode, Ben and Saso sit down with Peter as he opens his heart and shares a truly remarkable testimony of God’s grace and sustaining power.
Peter’s story is one marked by hardship from an early age. Growing up in a difficult environment, facing instability at home, and being drawn into the streets at a young age, his life quickly spiraled into trouble. What followed were years shaped by juvenile detention, addiction, incarceration, and deep emotional wounds. Yet even in those moments, God was planting seeds through Peter’s mother, who often pointed him to Jesus despite her own struggles.
As Peter recounts his journey, he reflects on how every chapter of his life—even the most painful—reveals the steady hand of a God who never stopped pursuing him. The heart of this episode centers on Philippians 4:13, a verse his mother spoke over him: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” This Scripture became a lifeline, especially during the darkest seasons when he felt most alone.
Peter describes how God met him through loss, restored him through relationships, and continued to shape him into the man he is today. His testimony is not polished; it is honest, raw, and real. And it serves as a powerful reminder that God’s goodness isn’t dependent on our circumstances—His goodness is constant, enduring, and present even when life feels overwhelming.
Listeners will be encouraged as Peter shares what he wants his family, his children, and anyone walking a difficult path to know: that God strengthens, restores, and redeems. His life stands as living proof that no story is beyond the reach of God’s transforming grace.

Will you live with the same bold faith — to stand firm, speak truth, and be about the Father’s business until Jesus returns?
