About this listen

Broadcasting from the heart of Chicago — a city often marked by crime and violence — this podcast brings you powerful testimonies of transformation, healing, and hope. Each episode features real-life stories from individuals raised in some of Chicago’s toughest neighborhoods and also from all around the country: former gang members, drug dealers, incarcerated individuals, and those impacted by violence. We also welcome voices from law enforcement, police officers, and military veterans who share their experiences from the front lines, offering insight, perspective, and a deep commitment to service.
At the core of every conversation is a message of redemption through faith, the power of community, and the journey toward healing deep trauma. These are stories of resilience, purpose, and perseverance—lives that have moved from "Darkness to Light" and "From Wrong to Strong."
Tune in to be challenged, uplifted, and reminded of the power of God's grace to change any life.
