There are moments in life when a simple knock changes everything.

In this episode, we follow the powerful true story of a young girl whose journey began with a ride on a church bus—and who spent decades caught between the call of God and the pull of the world. Behind the academic degrees, the business success, and the strong smile was a private struggle with addiction, fear, and the silent ache of feeling never enough.

But God never let go.

Through loss, brokenness, and countless returns to the altar, grace held the thread of her life together—until the day she made a decision that would change everything. "Bonus Time" is a story of second chances, surrender, and the kind of redemption that only Heaven can orchestrate.

Tune in to hear how a lifetime of wandering was transformed into a testimony of freedom, hope, and gratitude.

This isn’t just a comeback story.
It’s a story of Bonus Time.

From the outside, everything looked stable—two parents who stayed friends through divorce, good friends, loving teachers, and a steady home. But inside, a storm had been brewing since fifth grade. In this deeply moving episode, we follow this journey through years of hidden pain, self-harm, and silent battles. From the first cut to a night in the ER that could’ve ended it all, her story is raw, real, and redemptive.

But this is not a story of staying broken.

This is a story about how God never stopped chasing her. About teachers who prayed, pastors who called, and a moment at a youth retreat where everything changed. It's about the miracle of second chances, answered prayers, and a life rebuilt not on perfection—but on surrender.

This is the testimony of what happens when you finally let go… and let God.

If you've ever felt too far gone or too lost to return—this episode is for you.

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.

From the heartbreak of foster care to the hunger of childhood and the pain of rejection, this is the story of a woman whose journey began in abandonment—but never ended there.

In this episode we trace the life of someone who grew up without a name, a place, or a home she could call her own. From being taken from her mother at three, raised by strangers, and discovering her real family only through heartbreak, hers is a story woven with loss, survival, and—miraculously—hope.

But even in the darkest places, God was there. Through stolen raisins, desperate prayers, and whispers of truth from unexpected voices, a thread of grace pulled her forward. She wandered through cities, through pain, through churches that failed her—but God never let go.

And then came the words that changed everything: “Welcome home.”
Not just from a man, but from the God who had been calling her all along.

This episode is a testament to the power of redemption. A living reminder that God sees, God knows, and God restores. No matter how far you’ve gone, or how broken your past—there is still a place, and a name, and a home.

You don’t want to miss this story.
It will stay with you.
Because home… is closer than you think.
