Ep203 From Dope to Discipleship- The Brandon Chism Redemption Story

From age 12 to 35, Brandon Chism was lost in addiction—weed, cocaine, acid, heroin—if it existed, he used it. His life was a cycle of jail time, second chances, and near-death moments. But God stepped in. Time after time, He “set Brandon down” long enough to sober up and remind him that there was purpose beyond the chaos. Today, Brandon is a husband, father of three, proud grandpa, and owner of Chism Construction, where his work doubles as ministry—helping people and sharing God’s love through action. He’s also the heart behind the God’s Goon Podcast, a raw and faith-driven platform that strips away the masks and dives into real stories of transformation, hope, and the power of Jesus Christ. Brandon’s passion is outreach, his mission is the Gospel, and his greatest title isn’t entrepreneur or podcast host— it’s being called a son of the Living God.
