237. We Left the Trap Just in Time - with SFG Studios

God Gave Me a Dream to Leave the Trap… Three Weeks Later It Got RaidedIn this episode, Dino and his wife Rossi from SFG Studios share the true story of walking away from street life just in time—and how one decision changed everything. At the time, they were living in a trap house, selling drugs, and one step away from prison. They left with no car, no money, and no plan, ending up living in hotel rooms. Just three weeks later, the trap house they walked away from was raided, with arrests made and lives lost. They would have been there.What followed was real life. Hotel hopping. Job rejections. Humble beginnings. Rebuilding a marriage. Raising kids. Losing friends. Slowly watching things turn around. Today, they’re making music, doing prison outreach, and using their past to reach people who feel stuck where they once were.This deep convo covers leaving the trap they were trapped in, the dream that triggered everything, and almost going back to prison. Starting over from zero, faith, money, mindset, survival, moving from street life into prison ministry, and why resources matter when you want to help people.This conversation is raw, honest, funny, and real.
