Before there was transformation, there was Jeremith.

In Part 1 of this special two-part episode of The Contagious Faith Podcast, Jose Benjamin Lopez shares the painful story of how years of trauma, abuse, rage, and generational patterns began shaping the person he believed he needed to become.

A major part of Jose’s story involves his relationship with his father and the rage he witnessed growing up. As Jose looks back, he sees patterns that seemed to move from one generation to the next—what he describes through the lens of generational strongholds.

Over time, Jose developed a dark alter ego he called Jeremith.

This episode explores how trauma and unresolved wounds can affect identity, how destructive patterns can repeat themselves, and how pain can gradually reshape the way someone sees themselves and the world around them.

IN THIS EPISODE:
• Jose’s experiences with trauma and abuse
• His father’s rage and its impact on him
• Generational patterns and spiritual strongholds
• How unresolved pain can shape identity
• The creation of the alter ego “Jeremith”
• Anger, darkness, and the progression toward a different version of himself
• How family wounds can influence future generations
• The beginning of a story that would eventually lead toward freedom

Part 1 is about understanding how Jose got there.

Before the freedom, before the transformation, and before the redemption, there were wounds that ran deep—and patterns that had to be confronted.

This is the beginning of Jose’s story.
