My Childhood Was Stolen. My Future Almost Was Too Until God Interrupted | Daniel Goulding
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Daniel Goulding, pastor, father, and survivor for one of the most raw and redemptive conversations I’ve ever had on the show. Daniel shares his journey of being sexually abused as a child, burying that trauma for years, and the chaos that followed from addiction and self-destruction to a near-suicide attempt in a drug dealer’s bathroom. But this story isn’t just about pain, it’s about grace, healing, and transformation.
Daniel opens up about the moment everything shifted: when he cried out to God, not knowing if He was even real, and felt peace for the first time. We explore the beauty of redemption, what it means to forgive the unforgivable, and how he went from broken addict to preaching the Gospel and baptizing dozens at his own church.
If you’ve ever doubted God’s presence in your darkest moments, this one's for you. Daniel’s story is proof that there’s always a way back.
