A voice in a jail laundry room. A Bible open to a sentence that felt like a summons. And a quiet whisper that rewrote a life: “I never left you.” Kathy sits down with Rev. Robert “Bobby” Rodello to trace a raw, unforgettable journey—from a childhood steeped in altar calls and miracles, to the fracture of a family, to gang nights and a case that stacked into centuries on paper. As the bars closed, a prophecy remembered, and a soul tested prayer by inches, grace did what grace does best: it found a way in.

Bobby shares the turning points with striking clarity—the heaviness that drove him to argue with God, the line “you cannot serve two masters” that proved God was listening, and the seven-and-a-half-year wrestle to be renewed in the Holy Ghost. In a cramped room behind bars, he surrendered everything and felt the flood of the Spirit. Then came the words that cut through years of lies about abandonment, ushering him into a love that turned defiance into devotion. What followed was a jailhouse revival with daily Bible studies, healings, and over a hundred baptisms in Jesus’ name, even as legal setbacks tested hope and refined purpose.

A nightclub. A tray of free cocaine. Faces twisting into something dark. Then an audible voice: get in your truck, go home, and go to church in the morning. That moment didn’t just interrupt a spiral; it rerouted a life. Evangelist Justin Leva joins us to chart a raw, unscripted journey from a childhood of abuse, addiction, and witchcraft-laced culture to a steady walk defined by prayer, fasting, and the prophetic.

We dig into what listeners always ask but rarely hear explained with clarity: How does the word of knowledge actually work? When is a condition “just medical,” and when is it spiritual—and how do you minister to both with wisdom? Justin shares how he stopped asking for healing and began declaring it, cursing disease at the root and commanding infirmity to leave, following the pattern of Jesus and the apostles. He breaks down a recent case of multiple sclerosis where every Spirit‑revealed detail matched the medical report, offering a practical, biblically grounded approach to healing and deliverance.

Identity and authority sit at the center of this conversation. We talk about moving from operating in gifts to standing in the office of a prophet, why submission to pastoral authority matters, and how hunger—not hype—forms a durable ministry. We also face what too many avoid: Spirit‑filled people living under oppression and shame. Justin distinguishes attachment from possession and points to forgiveness, community, and discipleship as vital parts of freedom. His own recent battle with crushing depression became a furnace that forged deeper faith and ushered in some of the strongest miracles he’s seen.

What does it take to break a 25–year addiction and the prison cycle that comes with it? Dennis Fulton doesn’t offer polished answers; he brings a raw story that begins in a South Modesto trailer park and runs through meth, armed robbery, juvenile life, and a courtroom miracle that made space for grace. We talk about the moment a child ingests drugs and CPS steps in, the shock of being released when a record “can’t be found,” and the unexpected way a small Apostolic church in Lindsay felt more real than anything the streets ever offered.

Tune in and listen to more from Dennis.

If you are interested in his LIFE RECOVERY Group, please contact The Harvest Center Church in Strathmore California for more information.
