"My name is John. I experienced molestation, rape..." These words begin one of the most potent transformation stories we've ever featured. When trauma shapes our earliest experiences, it can echo through every choice we make. For John, childhood abuse spiraled into a life of confusion, substance abuse, and a marriage that left him feeling even more lost.

The Naked Truth segment on this Soul Food episode takes you deep into the reality of the world and its aftermath. Bishop Joshua doesn't shy away from the difficult questions: Why do people suffer? How do abusive patterns develop? And most importantly—how can someone truly break free? Through John's raw testimony, we witness the moment everything changed: alone in a bathroom, disgusted with his life, he cried out with complete sincerity, "God, if you're real, where are you?" What happened next transformed him completely.


If you're carrying trauma, addiction, or simply feeling lost, this episode offers something beyond mere coping strategies—it presents a pathway to complete renewal.
