  • "Believe and Repent" - Episode 51 with Binh Van Miner
    Dec 13 2025

    In this episode of 4YearsASlave, I sit down with Binh Van Miner — Army Veteran, Vietnamese immigrant, former roommate, and one of the most inspirational people you’ll ever hear speak.

    Binh’s life is a movie.

    Born into chaos, raised in a home surrounded by drugs, and facing battles no kid should ever have to survive… his story takes a radical turn when he’s adopted into a Christian family.
    Faith doesn’t just change his life — it saves it.

    We dive deep into:
    What it means to grow up in darkness and still choose the light
    Finding God, purpose, and identity after being adopted
    His journey into the U.S. Army and the discipline that reshaped him
    Life in Afghanistan — the fear, the brotherhood, and the truth civilians never hear
    How trauma, faith, and service intersect in the life of a modern veteran

    This conversation is raw, emotional, and shockingly honest.
    It’s the kind of story that reminds you how powerful redemption really is — and how far grace can carry someone when everything else is stacked against them.

    If you need motivation… if you need perspective… if you need proof that God can take broken stories and build something incredible — this episode is it.

    Watch it. Share it. Someone needs to hear this.
