In this powerful episode of Living Testimonies, Adam Swedenburg opens up about his journey from a traumatic childhood in foster care to a life of purpose as a youth pastor and podcast host.

Removed from an abusive home at age three, Adam was adopted by a youth pastor but battled deep anger toward God, leading him into addiction and gang life. His transformation began when he noticed the unexplainable joy of churchgoers even in the face of loss. Though he gave his life to Christ at 16, surrender was a process—and so was discovering his true calling.

From walking away from nursing school to pursue ministry, to building a thriving youth group from 3 to over 23 students, Adam’s testimony is a moving reminder that our darkest moments can become the foundation of our greatest purpose.

Whether you’re in the middle of your own valley or supporting someone who is, this episode will stir your faith and inspire hope.

Your Story, His Glory!

In this inspiring episode of Living Testimonies, we sit down with Steve Hopper—a man whose life journey proves it’s never too late for a comeback. At just 17, Steve found himself confined behind prison walls. Two years later, still incarcerated, he met Jesus and accepted salvation—but his true breakthrough didn’t come until he was 47, when he experienced full, radical surrender to God’s calling on his life.

Today, Steve is one of the most sought-after speakers in the professional circuit. He’s delivered hundreds of powerful keynotes and workshops at corporate events, leadership conferences, schools, churches—and even correctional facilities. As the author of From Prison to Purpose, he’s shared his story on TV, radio, and in leading publications, challenging audiences to turn their setbacks into comebacks and to win life’s most important game.

Join us as Steve unpacks how he transformed decades of pain into a purpose-driven mission, how he maintains momentum in his faith-filled walk, and how you too can step into God’s plan for your life—no matter your past. If you’ve ever wondered whether your mistakes define you, this episode will remind you that freedom and purpose await when you fully surrender.
