In this powerful conclusion to the series, I return to the height of the Satanic Panic — a time when fear drowned out understanding, and simply being a long-haired metal fan was enough to invite suspicion, accusation, and exile. Labeled a “devil worshipper” and treated as a threat for nothing more than loving heavy music and standing apart from the crowd, I endured isolation, mistrust, and the painful sting of public misunderstanding.

But there was more to the story than the panic, the rumors, and the struggle to hold onto identity in a world determined to define me.

Part Four is the testament to what came after the chaos — how the very world that others feared became the unlikely ground where hope took root. It traces my journey from alienation to awakening, and to the life-changing moment when a heavy-metal musician — someone who understood the outsider’s path — pointed me not toward rebellion, but toward redemption.

This episode explores the peace that rises from pain, the freedom discovered after false judgment, and the profound beauty of encountering Christ where many least expect Him — in friendship, in honesty, and in the places society overlooks. It is a story of identity reclaimed, dignity restored, and faith found not through fear, but through grace.

From the noise of accusation to the quiet certainty of salvation — this is the resurrection that grew in unlikely soil.

In this unflinching and deeply personal series, I pull back the curtain on my experience of public vilification and social alienation. For nothing more than being a long-haired male who loved heavy metal, I found myself branded with labels I never imagined — “devil worshipper,” “cult leader,” “dangerous influence.” These accusations weren’t just words; they were daggers aimed at my identity, my reputation, and my sense of belonging.

I take readers inside the emotional and psychological fallout of being misunderstood and demonized for my passions. Through raw storytelling, I explore the fear, anger, and defiance that come with living under the shadow of society’s moral panic. This is more than a memoir of heavy metal fandom — it’s a portrait of how easily difference can be scapegoated, how stereotypes can spiral into persecution, and how one person fights to reclaim their own narrative.

But the story doesn’t end in bitterness. Out of the chaos, rejection, and misrepresentation came a deeper search for truth and meaning. What began as a fight for identity became a spiritual journey — one that led me, unexpectedly, to the redemptive love of Christ. In the end, the same trials that tried to break me became the very road that carried me into faith, hope, and a new life defined not by false accusations, but by grace.

For nothing more than being a long-haired male who loved heavy metal and horror movies, I found myself branded with labels I never imagined — “devil worshipper,” “cult leader,” “dangerous influence" and "drug dealer". And this was eight years old on.

Psalm 91 is perhaps one of the most powerful and beloved chapters in the entire book of Psalms—second in fame only to the iconic Psalm 23. It’s a bold and beautiful declaration of God's divine protection, speaking of refuge, safety, and deliverance from harm. For centuries, believers have clung to its promises in times of fear, uncertainty, and danger.

But what if I told you that this psalm—so often quoted by people of faith—was once verified by a most unexpected source?

In this episode, we’ll unpack the incredible promises found in Psalm 91 and explore a surprising moment in Scripture when even the enemy—yes, Satan himself—quoted this psalm in an attempt to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. That’s right: the devil recognized the power and authority contained in these words. He knew the strength and truth of God's promises—so much so that he tried to twist them for his own purposes.

What does that tell us? That even darkness cannot deny the truth of God's Word.

Join us as we delve into the rich, protective covering of Psalm 91 and rediscover what it means to dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Whether you’re facing fear, walking through trials, or just needing reassurance that God is your refuge—this message will remind you that His promises are sure… even when acknowledged by the most unlikely voice.

In today’s image-conscious culture—where worth is so often measured by appearances, popularity, and perfection—it can be incredibly painful for those who feel like they don’t measure up. For people who are constantly ridiculed, overlooked, or mocked because of how they look, what they lack, or simply because they don’t fit the mold, the world can feel like a cold and unwelcoming place.

But in this episode, we shift our focus away from the noise of culture and toward the eyes of Jesus—the One who sees you completely and loves you unconditionally. We’ll explore powerful moments in Scripture where Jesus intentionally honored and uplifted those who were considered the “less thans” of His day: the outcasts, the rejected, the broken, and the unseen.

He didn’t turn away from them—He moved toward them. He touched the untouchable, spoke to the ignored, healed the hurting, and restored the dignity of those society tried to silence.

If you've ever felt like you're not enough, or like the world doesn't see your value, this episode is for you. Come discover how Jesus sees you—with compassion, honor, and a love that never fails.

Here is the miraculous and inspiring story of how God used Dodie Osteen, a faithful servant of the Holy Spirit, to bring healing to my daughter—who, at the time, was unable to walk.

In what can only be described as a divine appointment, Dodie Osteen’s unwavering faith, compassion, and obedience to the prompting of the Holy Spirit became a vessel for God’s healing power. My daughter, who had struggled with immobility, encountered a turning point through prayer and the power of faith shared by Dodie. Her gentle spirit and bold belief in God's promises ignited hope in our hearts and ushered in a healing we once thought impossible.

This episode is shared in honor of the late, great Dodie Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. She was a true woman of God—full of love, grace, and a fierce dedication to intercession and healing ministry. Her legacy lives on not only through the thousands she touched at Lakewood, but also through personal testimonies like ours, where her prayers and faith made all the difference.

May her story continue to inspire and uplift all who believe in the power of prayer and the miraculous love of God.

In Part 2 of Fear No Evil, we move from the valley to the victory. Evil may roar, but it does not reign—not in light of the resurrection. In this episode, we unpack how the resurrection of Jesus doesn’t just comfort us in suffering, but confronts and defeats the powers of death, fear, and despair.

The cross wasn't the end—it was the turning point. Through Scripture, story, and resurrection hope, we’ll show how followers of Christ are called to live with fearless confidence, even when the world trembles.

The shadow is real, but it’s not forever. Resurrection breaks through. Fear no evil.
