One Broken Life

In this episode of One Broken Life, John Stroup sits down with Christina for a raw and personal conversation about life on the streets, addiction, and the power of God. Christina shares her story of growing up in a drug-filled environment, where chaos and brokenness were normal. Living only what she knew, she was pulled into addiction and eventually met her husband, Jacob. What started as a difficult path quickly spiraled, as John, Christina, and Jacob all found themselves caught in the same destructive lifestyle—running the streets together with no clear way out. But that’s not where the story ends. This episode highlights the incredible ripple effect of God’s redemption. What began with God getting ahold of one life—John’s—became a testimony that reached Jacob, and ultimately led to Christina. This is a story of grace, restoration, and the undeniable truth that God can change any life—and use it to reach others.

In this episode of One Broken Life, John Stroup sits down with Mason McCall for a real and honest conversation about how a life that started with a strong foundation can still take a hard turn. Mason shares how, despite coming from a good Christian home, he came to a hard truth, being raised around faith doesn’t mean you personally know Christ. Through a series of bad decisions, he found himself caught in addiction and deep brokenness, learning the hard way that faith can’t be inherited, it has to be your own. This episode is a powerful reminder that no background can prevent brokenness, and no brokenness is beyond redemption. It’s a story of grace, and the life-changing power of God to restore what once seemed lost.

Together, they share their stories of addiction, life on the streets, jail and prison time, and the devastation their choices brought into their lives and the lives of others. But their story doesn’t end there—but God. Traie is a graduate of the Freeway Ministries Discipleship Program and the Timothy Project Internship Program. After Traie completed the program, he and Savanna entered into a God-honoring courtship and were married, choosing to build their relationship on faith, accountability, and obedience to Christ. Today, Traie serves as the Freeway Director in Sanford, Florida, where he also leads a men’s house and boldly preaches the gospel. Savanna stands as a strong leader alongside her husband, faithfully serving their family and ministry as a devoted wife and mother. As parents of two beautiful children, Traie and Savanna reflect on who they were before Christ and the destruction left in the wake of their past—but also on the incredible redemption God has brought forth. Their testimony is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond saving and that God can take a broken life and use it to shake the gates of hell.

This month John Stroup is speaking with Mike and Kim Estell. Mike and Kim both lived a life of addiction which led to many run-ins with the law. They both hit rock bottom and found Christ.

Kim is finishing her college degree, works at Freeway Headquarters, and is running the Freeway Marshfield Women’s Discipleship House. God has extraordinarily changed the path of their lives. They both thought they had things figured out, but eventually learned that God had better things planned for them.  For more information, visit www.freeway-ministries.com

Millie Shipley is this month’s special guest. After years of her personal struggle with addiction, Millie found herself in a desperate situation; she was a mother of 3 small children and married to an addict. She made the very tough decision to raise her children alone in the church house instead of the dope house. It definitely has not been easy, but God has been faithful. He has placed her with an amazing support network–a chosen family that helps her raise her boys in a God honoring way. Millie’s testimony will inspire you to keep doing the next right thing, even when it’s hard.  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvb-NnMTgcAITfNM20pF2KQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4F3b9TcG5BDSkfTK0UwCap Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ba5ab583-4330-489f-a6e2-3909a4f8d00c Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-broken-life-real-people-real-discussion/id1569230320 Podbean: https://media3r.podbean.com Soundstripe License Code: ZSJCFVTHJUP4QQNC For more information: www.freeway-ministries.com Follow One Broken Life on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/OneBrokenLifePodcast Follow Freeway Ministries on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/freewayministries ONE BROKEN LIFE is a production of Freeway Ministries in Springfield Missouri.

Episode 41: Hidden Addiction Too many times we stereotype what an addict is “supposed” to look like. Would you be shocked to find out a deacon or elder in your church was entrenched in a drug addiction? In this episode, John Stroup speaks with Brad and Kim Taylor about how Brad’s struggle with a pain pill addiction led to an out-of-control dependency on drugs. It nearly destroyed his life and drastically changed their normal. This podcast episode is an example of what can happen when a family stops enabling, and an individual surrenders to God. The Taylors are dear friends of Freeway Ministries, and we are honored they shared their very personal story with us!  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvb-NnMTgcAITfNM20pF2KQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4F3b9TcG5BDSkfTK0UwCap Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ba5ab583-4330-489f-a6e2-3909a4f8d00c Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-broken-life-real-people-real-discussion/id1569230320 Podbean: https://media3r.podbean.com Soundstripe License Code: ZSJCFVTHJUP4QQNC For more information: www.freeway-ministries.com Follow One Broken Life on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/OneBrokenLifePodcast Follow Freeway Ministries on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/freewayministries ONE BROKEN LIFE is a production of Freeway Ministries in Springfield Missouri.
