Living Changed Podcast
As I have stepped out in my faith, I have found that our stories can make a lasting impact on the people around us. By stepping out in boldness, God's glory can and will be shown to others if at first we are obedient to tell our story in the first place. I first started this podcast to give people a voice to tell their stories in hopes that it could encourage and give hope to those who need to hear it. As I have had more personal experiences with the Lord and His power, I also found that I could step out and tell my own stories of who He is. The Lord uses our struggles, trials, and victories to show that you can and will make it through it with Him by your side. I give all the glory to God for this podcast and these episodes. I hope even if you’re not sure about who God is, His character, glory, mercy, and love will be shown to you through each episode.

Ritchie's Testimony - Drug Dealer to Hope Dealer
This week I sat down with Ritchie Benitez. Ritchie spent 14 years addicted to cocaine while secretly working in the medical field in New York. A successful professional on the outside, but deeply broken on the inside, he lived a double life — dealing cocaine and searching for purpose. But everything changed when he met a co-worker who didn’t just talk about Jesus — he lived it out. Ritchie watched, questioned, and eventually found himself face-to-face with the gospel.
This episode tells the powerful story of how God used a faithful witness, the message of Billy Graham, and the relentless grace of Christ to deliver Ritchie from addiction and transform him into a man on mission. Today, he’s preaching the same hope he once ran from. He now travels all around the U.S. to tell others about Jesus.
If you’ve ever doubted that anyone is too far gone, this episode is for you!
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6
