Fernando grew up in the San Fernando Valley surrounded by the realities of street and gang life. That road eventually led him to prison, where he spent 20 years incarcerated. But prison wasn’t the end of his story. Today, Fernando is walking onto theater stages as an actor; using his life, his pain, his faith, and his second chance for something greater. On this episode of Street Gospel, we talk about the streets, incarceration, addiction, sobriety, family, faith in God, and the unlikely road that took him from doing time to performing on stage. Your worst chapter doesn’t have to be your last. #StreetGospel #FernandoArredondo #Testimony #Redemption #Faith

This one is special to me. My brother Phil Hernandez and I have been friends for a long time. We’re not blood, but that’s my brother. We talk about growing up in church, trying to meet expectations, some of the things we believed back then that we might see differently now, playing music together in FiveForty, our dads, friendship, life and of course sports. We’ve been through a lot of different seasons of life together and somehow the friendship has always remained. This one is about brotherhood, friendship and longevity. Just two longtime friends sitting down and having a real conversation.

What happens when the life you’re living finally brings you to the end of yourself? For DJ Paden it took alcohol, DUIs, prison, close calls with death, and hitting rock bottom before he finally cried out to Jesus. On this episode of the Street Gospel Podcast, DJ shares how Christ changed his life, gave him the strength to get sober, and gave him a purpose bigger than himself. But getting sober didn’t mean life got easier. DJ would later lose two of his brothers to addiction just 10 weeks apart. Through that pain, he never lost hope in Christ. He kept his faith, stayed sober, and kept moving forward. Today, DJ is pouring back into people who are fighting the same battles he once fought. He opened a gym in Huntington Beach, Kingdom Fit, that’s about more than building a stronger body it’s about building a stronger spirit, finding purpose, and pointing people to Christ. From addiction and rock bottom to faith, purpose, and helping others find their way. #StreetGospelPodcast #JesusChrist #JesusSaves #Testimony #Sobriety #Redemption #Faith #MensMinistry #AddictionRecovery #HopeInChrist

From the streets of Philly to planting a church in Southern California, Troy Fink’s story is a powerful reminder that God never gives up on us. Growing up surrounded by love but also chaos, Troy was pulled into the streets, partying, drugs, crime, and becoming a father at a young age. Even then, he felt God calling him but without anyone to disciple him, following Jesus wasn’t easy. That experience gave him a burden to make sure others don’t have to walk alone the way he did. Today, after more than a decade in ministry, Troy along with his wife leads a new church plant, Four Winds @fourwindsca , in Chatsworth, California, helping people grow in Christ and discover their God-given calling.

My favorite guest is back. In this episode of the Street Gospel Podcast, Malisa joins me for a conversation about marriage, growing old together, choosing faith over fear, and building a relationship that doesn’t just survive—but finishes well. We laugh, share a few stories, and talk honestly about what God has been teaching us through the different seasons of life. One thing has become clearer with every passing year: life changes. Seasons come and go. Kids grow up. Careers shift. Dreams evolve. But when you strip everything else away, what really matters never changes—your walk with God, your marriage, your family, and the legacy you leave behind.

Once a self-described satan worshiper, punk rock singer, white supremacist, drug addicted , and convict, Chris shares how destructive choices and addiction took hold of his life at an early age, convincing him that prison, drugs, and self-destruction were all his future had to offer.

What once seemed destined for tragedy became a story of redemption, restoration, and purpose. Today, Chris is a loving husband, devoted father, and compassionate pastor who spends his life serving others, whether they walk through the church doors or he meets them on the streets. With honesty, humility, and gratitude, Chris reflects on the miracle of simply being alive and living a life he never thought possible.

In this episode, we sit down with Jesse Sanchez and hear a powerful testimony of transformation. Jesse grew up in the streets of Desert Hot Springs, surrounded by poverty, chaos, and a lack of guidance. Searching for identity and control, he started his own gang, drawn in by violence and the lifestyle that came with it. What began as survival quickly turned into a path that led him deeper into trouble, with no clear way out. Angry at God and blaming his circumstances, Jesse reached a breaking point. In a moment of desperation, he challenged God with a simple but bold prayer: “If You’re real… change me.” God answered. Today, Jesse is a pastor, a husband, and a father—serving and reaching people in the very streets he once ran.

In this episode of the Street Gospel Podcast, Sal Di Stefano reveals his journey from a strict belief in science and self-reliance to fully surrendering his life to Christ after a heartfelt, desperate prayer. Not about religion. Not about tradition. Just a genuine moment of humility. We discuss the process of rebuilding through discipline, getting fit, and establishing structure, as well as how easily fitness and self-improvement can become idols. Because even if you transform your body, you may still feel unfulfilled if your foundation is not solid. This discussion centers on the transition from control to surrender, from ego to faith, and from pursuing gains to pursuing God. If you've ever struggled with doubt, pride, or the conflict between logic and belief, this episode will certainly challenge you.

In this episode of the Street Gospel Podcast, we sit down with UFC lightweight contender Beneil Dariush for a real and honest conversation about faith, fighting, and full surrender. Born in Iran and raised in the United States, Beneil grew up knowing about Christ—but it wasn’t until later in life that he truly gave his life to Jesus. Driven by a win-at-all-costs mentality, he rose through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and into elite MMA, chasing victory, discipline, and success at the highest level. Along the way, God began to shift his priorities—from chasing wins to walking in obedience. Today, Beneil is just as bold about his faith as he is in the cage. This episode is a powerful testimony of what it looks like to lay everything down for Christ—no matter the cost.
