Pastor Marcus Rogers opens up like never before.At 12 years old, he stood on a bridge ready to end his life — until he heard God speak the words: “Don’t do it, son.”That moment marked him forever.

God spared him multiple times — through war, street violence, heartbreak, betrayal, and spiritual warfare. This is the raw testimony behind the boldness millions see online. Marcus shares how God broke him into a million pieces, rebuilt his purpose, and called him into ministry with fire, clarity, and compassion.

“I had to break you into a million pieces to feed you to a million people.”

We also dive into major conversations in Christianity today: Maverick City, Diddy, Charlie Kirk, Philip Anthony Mitchell, the American church, spiritual deception, Nigerian persecution, Trump, college indoctrination, and holiness.
If you’ve ever wondered what Marcus really thinks, what he’s seen behind the scenes, or why he speaks the way he does — press play.

Bold. Honest. Unfiltered.

21 Days in Africa is a story of a comedian going to Uganda to preach the gospel, minister to orphans and widows, and see the love of Jesus in an impoverished region. Zach unpacks his mission trip he went on with The Suubi Project and is inspiring other believers to say, "Here I am, Lord. Send Me."

In this episode, you’ll hear powerful, real-life stories from my 21 days in Uganda — moments that wrecked me, reshaped me, and reminded me what loving people like Jesus actually looks like. You’ll meet Janet, a young girl abandoned by her father; hear the wild moment God confronted me with a “SEND ME” van on the side of the road; and experience Sarge’s birthday, which turned into a masterclass in generosity and joy. These stories will shake your perspective, deepen your faith, and push you toward your calling.

You’ll also step into the homes of widows, families facing extreme poverty, and kids whose joy hits harder than any sermon. If you’re craving Christian inspiration, mission trip stories, spiritual growth, or a fresh encounter with purpose — this episode will light you up.

Don't miss the special taping of this story and please share it!

Steve Kang never heard of what the Bible calls hell until he was led there by satan. The agony he describes from his time there is riveting. The beings he saw there have no light, no joy, and no faces.

No babies, children, animals, or plants. 🪴

Steve was awakened in a hospital room, surrounded by local Christians, and gave his life to Jesus immediately.

He's been preaching the word of God ever since and has read the bible over 100 times! Powerful story, please share with your fellow brothers and sisters both saved and unsaved!

"You don't go through grief, grief moves through you." This is what I learned over these 5 years of walking through life with a broken heart after losing my best friend, Armani. I was led by the Lord to return to the river where he lost his life and begin writing a book about his life, legacy, and eternal resting place. The book is called "Me, Armani, & Jesus" and is dropping in 2026.

Hear me unpack how God healed my grief. This is a bonus episode for you - This was an interview on the Everyday Miracles Podcast

When Julie Hedenborg prayed a desperate prayer in the back of an ambulance, she had no idea it would lead to a worldwide ministry sharing miracles and near-death experiences that reveal God’s power and love. She loved being a nurse anesthetist, but God had another plan—redirecting her from the operating room to the microphone to share real stories of faith, healing, and hope.🗣️

Talking Points

* How an ICU patient’s near-death experience changed everything for Julie.

* The ambulance prayer that sparked a global ministry of miracles.

* Julie’s journey from nurse anesthetist to podcast host and author.

* The moment in 2015 when she experienced something undeniably supernatural.

* Some of the most powerful testimonies from the Everyday Miracles book (32 stories of God’s power).

Charlie Kirk was martyred just a day before Daniel Molina and I jumped on a podcast - we unpack the baton passing moment the death of Charlie Kirk was for Christians and Americans alike. Daniel also shares the fruit his house church has generated by simply hosting a worship night and posting the videos on Instagram. We also dive into the topic of tithing and radical generosity that comes when you step into cheerful giving. Thank you Daniel Molina for joining me from Hawaii!
