He was running from the law, selling drugs, and facing prison time. But God had a different plan for his life!

In this episode of This Is Real, we sit down with Pastor Johnny of Enhanced Christian Center in El Paso, Texas, to hear his incredible testimony.

From a life of gangs, drugs, and violence to crying out to God in a jail cell, Johnny shares how Jesus changed everything. And even through prison and seasons of falling away, God was preparing him for a calling he never imagined: becoming a pastor.

Listen, you don't have to clean yourself up before coming to Jesus. Come as you are and let Him do what only He can do!

Real People. Real Problems. Real Solutions.

What happens when you don't get the second chance you've been praying for?

On this episode of This Is Real, I sit down with Krystal, and this is a story I believe a lot of people need to hear.

Growing up, Krystal watched her father go in and out of prison. He provided for his family, but what she wanted most was his time. As their relationship grew stronger, she looked forward to the day he would finally come home. But that day never came.

Just two weeks before his passing, Krystal felt God telling her to let him know she loved him and forgave him. She thought she had more time.

Years later, she found herself facing similar circumstances in her marriage. But through faith, difficult decisions, and surrendering to God, their story took a different turn.

You know, sometimes we live like there's always going to be another opportunity to forgive, make things right, or change our lives. But what if that chance never comes?

I pray this conversation encourages you to make the most of the time God has given you. Don't wait until tomorrow to do what you can do today.

God is good, even on your worst day. Your circumstances may change, but His character never does. In this episode of This Is Real, Pastor Juan shares why one bad moment doesn’t have to become a bad day, how gratitude changes what we notice, and why we can rejoice even when life doesn’t go our way. Your difficult moment is not the whole story. God is still working, God is still with you, and God is still good.

Key Verse: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

Scriptures Referenced: James 1:17, Psalm 34:8, 2 Corinthians 4:17, John 16:33, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, and Nahum 1:7.

Pastor Bonita opens up about being molested by a family member at nine years old and carrying the pain, shame, and false belief that it was her fault.

For years, she hid what she was feeling behind a smile. In this honest conversation, she shares how God began healing the parts of her story she tried to forget and helped her walk through one of the hardest decisions of her life: forgiveness.

This is a real conversation about childhood trauma, identity, healing, and the freedom that comes when we allow God into the places we’ve kept buried.

On this episode of This Is Real, Pastor Bonita shares what it was like raising two young boys while Brian was battling addiction and serving time in prison. She was working full-time, paying bills she couldn’t afford, accepting collect calls, putting money on his books, and driving to visit him every month. On paper, it didn’t make sense—but God continued to provide.

Brian opens up about the damage his addiction caused and the moment Jesus met him behind bars. Bonita shares why she stayed, how she knew his change was real, and the work it took to rebuild their lives.

This is a real conversation about addiction, prison, forgiveness, restoration, and what can happen when Jesus steps into a broken story.

Please understand that every situation is different, and it is not always healthy or safe to stay.

In this episode, I sit down with special guest Mandi Delcampo. She grew up in church and encountered the Holy Spirit at a young age, but years of compromise, divorce, shame, and condemnation left her wondering if God would ever take her back.

Mandi opens up about rededicating her life to Jesus, battling torment in her mind, and discovering who she truly is through the Word of God. Her story proves that no matter how far you think you’ve gone, the grace of God can still find you.

This is a real conversation about surrender, identity, being born again, and why we need both Spirit and truth.

ANGLK was once known as Powda in the Houston rap scene. She started making music as a teenager, spent years partying and smoking, and built a life far from God. Then Jesus got her attention.

In this episode, ANGLK shares how God began changing her from the inside out, how He freed her from a 25-year dependence on weed, and how the transformation in her life began impacting her husband and children.

Now, the same woman who once made music celebrating the life she was living is using her music and testimony to point people back to Jesus.

This is a story of redemption, surrender, and the power of a life completely changed by God.
