What happens when a man at rock bottom cries out to God—and God answers? In this powerful episode, Ralph Gutshall shares his gripping journey from despair to divine destiny. Facing a long prison sentence, battling addiction, and nearly taking his own life, Ralph thought his story was over. But God had other plans.

In a maximum-security prison, Ralph encountered the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Through an unexpected invitation, a simple Bible, and the kindness of strangers, he discovered a hope that transformed everything—his heart, his purpose, and even his future marriage.

🎙️ Listen in as Ralph recounts:

✔️ How God stopped him from pulling the trigger

✔️ The moment the Holy Spirit flooded his prison cell

✔️ How a prayer and a 3-day fast led him to the love of his life

✔️ The miraculous doors God opened after his release

✔️ Why hope is the most powerful thing—even behind bars

Ralph’s story is living proof that God meets us in our darkest places and walks us into His goodness. No past is too broken for redemption!

He was moments away from ending his life. Sitting on a bench outside his ghetto, Joseph Jackong had lost all hope—until a stranger with a Bible asked him a question that changed everything. That one divine encounter set him on a path from addiction and despair to discovering a life of true abundance—not in material wealth, but in unshakable joy, peace, and purpose in Christ.

In this powerful episode of the God’s Goodness Podcast, Joseph shares his gripping testimony of transformation. From nearly taking his own life to being radically pursued by God, he reveals what it truly means to be properly introduced to the Kingdom of God. His journey wasn’t instant—after answering an altar call, he expected immediate change but found himself questioning his faith. Yet, God wasn’t done with him. Through discipleship, baptism, and spiritual growth, Joseph unlocked the effortless miracles and endless possibilities available to all who seek first His Kingdom.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to live the better life God has for you—beyond just going to church—this episode is for you. Jesus already paid the price, and He wants to give you rest, joy, and strength. Are you ready to step into the miraculous life you were made for?

Gospel Soul-winning Script: (Be willing to go, be filled with the Holy Spirit and go in pairs.)

1) Ask, "Has anyone ever told you that God loves you and that he has a wonderful plan for your life?"

2) "I have a real quick, but important question to ask you. If you were to die this very second, do you know for sure, without a shadow of a doubt, that that you would go to heaven?" [If "Yes" - Great, why would you say "Yes"? (If they respond with anything but "I have Jesus in my heart" or something similar to that, PROCEED WITH SCRIPT) or "No" or "I hope so" PROCEED WITH SCRIPT.]

3) "Let me quickly share with you what the Holy Bible reads. It reads, "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" and "for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The Bible also reads, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." And you're a "whosoever" right? Of course you are; all of us are.

I'm going to say a quick prayer for you. Lord bless (FILL IN NAME) and his/her family with long and healthy lives. Jesus, make Yourself real to him/her and do a quick work in his/hear heart. If (FILL IN NAME) has not received Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Savior, I pray he/she will do so now.

(FILL IN NAME), if you would like to receive the gift that God has for you today, say this after me with your heart and lips out loud. Repeat after me, Dear Lord Jesus, come into my heart. Forgive me of my sin. Wash me and cleanse me. Set me free. Jesus, thank You that You died for me. I believe that You are risen from the dead and that You're coming back again for me. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. Give me a passion for the lost, a hunger for the things of God and a holy boldness to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm saved; I'm born again, I'm forgiven and I'm on my way to Heaven because I have Jesus in my heart.

As a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I tell you today that all of your sins are forgiven. Always remember to run to God and not from God because he loves you and has a great plan for your life.

What if everything in your life crumbled—your health, your strength, your hope—only for God to rebuild you stronger than ever?

Five years ago, Danielle Mounts survived a silent heart attack—mowing her lawn just minutes after it struck. But that was only the beginning. What followed was a staggering series of medical crises: a congenital heart defect, multiple strokes, an MS diagnosis, and a near-death experience that left her hospitalized for months. Through every trial, God was at work, revealing His power in ways beyond human understanding.

When medicine had no answers, faith did. A simple prayer blanket carried an anointing that sparked her healing. Worship music became her refuge. Scripture became her weapon. And through it all, she discovered the truth—God never left her side.

If you’ve ever questioned whether God still heals, still hears, and still moves in impossible situations, Danielle’s testimony will leave you speechless. Her story isn’t just about survival—it’s about supernatural restoration.

Lost in the Jungle, Found by God

What happens when God calls you into the depths of the jungle—where people have never seen a missionary, where spirits are feared more than loved, and where faith is an unspoken mystery? Pastor John Kent knows firsthand.

In this incredible episode, we follow his journey to the semi-nomadic Ipamoo people, a tribe so deep in the jungle that they had to be found. Facing suspicion, starvation, and a diet of steamed bugs (yes, really!), Pastor John had one mission: to introduce a God of love to a people living in fear. But how do you reach those who can’t read, write, or even comprehend a God who gives rather than demands?

Through a hand-cranked cassette player, divine encounters, and the unwavering power of prayer, we witness lives transformed—like Sabian, a man afraid to embrace faith for fear of angering his ancestors, until a miracle changed everything. From protecting gardens against wild pigs to healing the sick, God's power turned ordinary men into missionaries of their own people.

🔥 This episode is a powerful reminder that God meets us right where we are—even in the middle of the jungle.

Imagine being five years old and waking up to a terrifying presence in your room. That was just the beginning for Shelly Phillips, whose life is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of transformation.

Shelly Phillips shares her incredible story, starting with a chilling childhood encounter with a demonic entity. Growing up in a church-going family, Shelly wrestled with feelings she felt she couldn't express. Her struggle with her sexuality, a near-fatal overdose at 19, and years of searching for acceptance and peace defined her early years. A fateful discovery of a Christian radio station and a church she'd passed for years marked the beginning of her spiritual awakening. Shelly's journey through a powerful spiritual battle led to a miraculous release from a lifelong stronghold, changing her life forever.

Join us as Shelly Phillips reveals her path from darkness to light, and how she found her true identity in faith. Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, freedom and healing are within reach. Listen now and be inspired to embrace your own journey towards transformation and peace.

What if your faith led you straight into the unknown—where sharing the gospel could cost you everything?

In this powerful episode, missionary Todd Matthews takes us on a journey deep into the world’s most restricted and unreached regions, where the name of Jesus has never been spoken. From smuggling the gospel into hidden corners to witnessing entire families come to Christ through a single “man of peace,” Todd’s story is a breathtaking testament to God’s power in the hardest places.

Hear how his calling began with a short-term mission trip to Russia and evolved into a life-or-death pursuit of spreading the gospel—one that led to miraculous healings, church plants in leprosy colonies, and the daring rescue of modern-day slaves trapped in scam centers run by the Chinese mafia. But the road wasn’t easy. Detained six times. Racing against deadly mudslides. Navigating persecution. And yet, every step was met with God’s undeniable faithfulness.

One incredible moment? A man locked in a hotel room for a voiceover recording of the Jesus film—miraculously set free from cigarette addiction without a single craving. Because where the name of Jesus is spoken, chains break.

Todd is now on a mission to bring hope, healing, and the gospel to the world’s poorest and most persecuted through His Feet International, a 3-star-rated accredited charity making a real impact. Want to help? Visit HisFeet.com to learn more, donate, or get involved in this life-changing work.
