This is where it all began—Episode 1 of Faith Through The Fire. I sat down with my daughter Chanelle to open up about the hardest seasons of our life—addiction, prison, grief, betrayal—and how God used all of it to lead us to redemption. Her faith, her prayers, and her boldness brought me back to Christ. This is our raw, unfiltered story of generational healing through the Holy Spirit. 📖 “The prayers of a righteous person are powerful and effective.” – James 5:16 ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Welcome to Faith Through The Fire 0:31 – Why this podcast had to begin with Chanelle 1:10 – Growing up without mom and dad 3:20 – What Chanelle remembers from her early childhood 5:21 – “I always knew where you were, Dad…” 6:45 – Spiritual darkness, bloody noses, and early church confusion 8:41 – Was it witchcraft? 12:34 – Reunion after prison, broken love languages 14:11 – Chanelle’s first major heartbreak in our relationship 17:00 – The start of my drug addiction and fall into the party life 19:56 – Discovering the truth about my lifestyle 23:55 – Chanelle: “I didn’t want to live anymore…” 25:20 – Her first encounter with the Holy Spirit 28:35 – Getting baptized despite opposition 30:50 – Praying for me to come to Jesus 32:30 – Her prayer broke generational chains 35:00 – The moment I was kidnapped 38:00 – Chanelle’s fear and the escape that changed everything 43:40 – A supernatural encounter at Popeyes 45:00 – How that moment changed my life forever 49:10 – Almost shot again in another toxic relationship 51:10 – Chanelle processes the betrayal 53:45 – Forgiveness vs. Trust 56:30 – Why the old me had to die 58:40 – Chanelle’s transformation and college journey 1:05:40 – When I let go, God took over 1:08:20 – Chanelle’s calling to help kids in pain 1:10:25 – What love is—and what it’s not 1:11:55 – Final word of encouragement 🙏 This testimony is for anyone who’s been broken, anyone who’s looked for love in the wrong places, and anyone ready to stop running and come home to God. ➡️ Follow our journey on Instagram: @buddybrandfitness 📲 Watch more on TikTok: @buddybrandfitness #FaithThroughTheFire #Testimony #ChristianPodcast #GenerationalHealing #JesusSaves #Forgiveness #HolySpirit #FatherDaughter #Redemption #VOUSChurch
