The Night God Broke Me on Bourbon Street | Graham Allen’s Testimony


Listen Later

“Can I come home?”

That’s all Graham Allen could bring himself to text his wife after walking out on her while she was pregnant with their third child. He was a combat veteran, a serial drinker, a “degenerate husband” by his own words… and a man on the brink of repeating his father’s story.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation with Josh McPherson, Graham shares:

  • How a heavy metal concert on Bourbon Street confronted him with the pain he was about to cause his own kids
  • The night he sat hidden in a church balcony, broke down, and heard one clear word: “Text her”
  • The four-word text that changed everything: “Can I come home?”
  • Why he says he’s “too abrasive for the pulpit but too important to ignore”
  • The real story behind Dear America, his viral truck rants, and billions of views
  • Why he insists, “I’m not a good man. Any good you see is Jesus.”
  • A direct challenge to men to put the bottle down, stop texting that other person, and go home


This isn’t a polished Christian fairytale. It’s a story of church hurt, bad decisions, divorce papers on the table, PTSD, pride, and a wife who chose obedience to God over the world’s advice.

If you’re a man on the edge of walking away from your family… or someone who thinks you’ve gone too far to come back to God… this episode is for you.
