  • Episode 70: Five Times Down, One Time Up
    Jul 6 2026

    On this episode of the One Broken Life Podcast, John sits down with Stephanie Deckard for a raw and deeply moving conversation about a life marked by hardship and the redemption she never saw coming.

    Stephanie's story begins in a broken home and winds through years of struggle, including five separate stints in prison. At her lowest, she found herself homeless in the dead of winter, sheltering in a makeshift hut with little more than survival on her mind. A dangerous and abusive relationship eventually pushed things to a breaking point, threatening her very life and bringing law enforcement to her door.

    But what happened next would change everything.

    In that moment of desperation, an officer on the scene did something unexpected. He shared the Gospel with Stephanie and prayed with her. It was a simple act that would become the turning point of her life.

    Tune in to hear how God met Stephanie in her darkest hour and set her on a journey of healing, restoration, and purpose. Transforming a life defined by pain and survival into a powerful testimony of hope.

  • Episode 69: From Military Life to Missionary Life
    Jun 1 2026

    On this episode of the One Broken Life Podcast, John sits down with Angel Morales to hear his powerful testimony of redemption and restoration. Raised in poverty in Honduras, Angel didn’t realize just how poor he was until he moved to the United States during high school while chasing the American dream.

    From a young age, Angel was surrounded by drinking and smoking, habits that followed him into adulthood and even through his time serving in the military. Though he married his wife Rachel, his life was spiraling, and his unfaithfulness brought their marriage to the verge of divorce.

    Just when it seemed like his marriage was beyond saving and everything he had built was about to collapse, an unexpected invitation changed everything.

    Tune in to hear the full story of how God took a broken man, a failing marriage, and a hopeless situation and turned it into a testimony of redemption, restoration, and purpose.

  • Episode 68: The Ripple Effect of Redemption
    May 4 2026

    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.
