Here’s an optimized Spotify for Podcasters description for Episode 9 — adapted from your YouTube setup but tightened for audio audiences and Spotify’s formatting (no timestamps, strong opening hook, scannable structure):

Lost Boy. Found Hope. (One of the "Lost Boys of Sudan")

Carlos’s journey began in war-torn South Sudan, where villages were burned and families torn apart. He fled on foot, survived life as a refugee in Kenya, and was later resettled in the United States as one of the Lost Boys of Sudan.

In this episode, Carlos opens up about:

• Escaping violence and surviving in a refugee camp

• Life in foster care and the struggles of resettlement in America

• Wrestling with hopelessness and destructive choices

• The moment everything changed when he encountered the Word of God

• Finding healing, forgiveness, and a new purpose

This is more than a refugee story—it’s a story of survival, redemption, and hope against all odds.

✨ If you’ve ever felt lost, broken, or searching for meaning, Carlos’s story will inspire you.

Would you like me to also create a shortened teaser version (2–3 sentences) you could use as the episode summary on the Spotify show page (since that’s what listeners see first before expanding)?
