In this episode we follow the harrowing and redemptive journey of a young man raised in the heart of South Phoenix—through broken homes, street life, addiction, prison, and heartbreak. Just when the weight of his past threatened to crush every hope of a future, a chance encounter on a nearly empty city bus changes everything.

What begins as a routine ride turns into a divine appointment when a stranger with a Bible sits beside him and asks one question: “Do you go to church?” That moment becomes the spark that sets off a powerful transformation—leading him back to the house of God, to repentance, and ultimately to a life fully surrendered.

It’s a story of grace showing up in the most unexpected places. A story of God reaching into a life tangled with pain, and weaving a testimony of mercy, healing, and redemption.

You'll never look at a city bus the same way again.
