What if your earliest memories were filled with addiction, abuse, and survival? For Zachary Fraley, that was reality—until a radical encounter with Jesus changed everything.

In this raw and deeply moving episode of The Overcomers Podcast, Kristen sits down with Zachary, now a lead pastor in Iowa, as he shares his journey from a traumatic childhood—marked by instability, addiction, and loss—to a life of healing, forgiveness, and purpose in Christ.

You’ll hear:

• What it was like being the child of two addicts

• The life-changing decision he made alone in a car after hitting rock bottom

• How God called him into ministry through unexpected signs

• His mission to revitalize the local church in one of America’s most unchurched cities

This is more than a testimony—it’s a story of spiritual transformation, deep healing, and God's relentless pursuit of His children. If you’ve ever questioned whether your past disqualifies you from your purpose, this episode will encourage your heart.

In this heart-wrenching and hope-filled episode of The Overcomers Podcast, Kristen sits down with Katie Tolley from Maddie’s Place, a pediatric transitional care facility in Washington that provides nurturing, non-judgmental medical care for infants born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)—a result of substance exposure in the womb.

Katie shares the incredible origin story of Maddie’s Place, the revolutionary non-pharmacologic care model they use (one of only five in the country!), and how their mission wraps both babies and parents in compassion, stability, and support. From cuddling babies through withdrawals to walking alongside parents in recovery, this episode is an unforgettable reminder of what it means to truly stand in the gap.

If you’ve ever doubted whether recovery is possible or questioned what it looks like to lead with grace, this conversation will challenge you, move you, and inspire you.

This birthday episode was supposed to be a recap of my 41st year... but the Holy Spirit had other plans.

What started as a look back became a gut-check moment with God, leading me to strip away pride, victimhood, and hurt—and focus instead on the growth, healing, and wisdom He’s brought me through.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I share:

• How I surrendered my business, my finances, and my timeline to God

• What I learned about true friendship, boundaries, and biblical connection

• How leaving my longtime church led to spiritual hunger, Holy Spirit encounters, and unexpected mourning

• And why this year has been less about the battles and more about the lessons they brought

If year 40 was the storm, year 41 was the start of the clearing skies—and the quiet strength that comes from trusting God in the unknown.

This is for the woman who feels like she’s in the refining fire, the one questioning her friendships, her faith, or her finances. You are not alone.

In this week’s episode I had the opportunity to sit down with Lindsey Abbasy. Lindsey is a local mom of 3 and advocate for Jack’s Basket. Her goal is to break the stigmas surrounding Down Syndrome and to show the world how much joy her daughter brings to their family.

Today’s episode is a special one. We're welcoming back a familiar voice—Jill Klee, a courageous woman whose story of addiction, redemption, and relentless resilience has touched so many lives.

If you heard her the first time she came on, you know Jill doesn’t hold back. A former heroin addict, she shared the raw, unfiltered truth of her darkest moments and what it took to claw her way out.

But today, we’re going deeper. Because recovery doesn’t end when the drugs are gone. Jill opens up about life after recovery—the real, often overlooked struggles of rebuilding relationships, rediscovering purpose, and facing pain without numbing it.

This is a conversation about hope, healing, and the messy, beautiful reality of transformation. Whether you’re in recovery, love someone who is, or just need to be reminded that it’s never too late to change your story—this episode is for you.

Let’s dive in.
