From The Strip Club to Salvation | Van’s Redemption Story

From the stage lights to the spotlight of redemption — Van’s story is raw, real, and a testament to the power of grace. Once caught in the fast life as a male stripper and battling addiction to crack, he spiraled through darkness most couldn’t imagine. But hitting rock bottom became the solid ground he rebuilt his faith on, and today he walks in the light — clean, sober, and devoted to Christ.

In this episode of the StraitJacket Podcast, Van opens up about the temptations, trauma, and transformation that shaped his journey. His story reminds us that no one is too far gone for God to reach, and no past is too broken for redemption. This one’s for anyone who’s ever questioned if change is really possible — it is.
