  Episode #78

  Sandy Bond: Grieving Alone With a Jesus I Had Never Really Met (Testimony) | EP #78 (Part 1)

  Aug 17, 202653 min

  Sandy Bond was still a little girl when she learned how quickly everything can be taken away — and by the time she was a teenager, grief had already reshaped who she was. In Part 1 of her testimony, Sandy opens up about the losses that marked her childhood, the walls she built to survive them, and a season years into her marriage that had her wanting to walk away. In the middle of her lowest moment, something happened that she still can't fully explain — a moment so perfectly timed, the only possible answer, is God. This is a story about what's still standing when everything else falls apart. ▶ Pt 2 coming out 8/24/26_________Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperienceSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperienceX: https://x.com/JesusXperienceTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.expInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience_________LIKE.

  David Ayala: What It Cost Me to Come Home (Testimony) | EP #77 (Pt 3)

  Aug 10, 20261h 5m

  The more David grew in his walk, the more there was for him to do For three years he served out of love. Somewhere in the fourth it stopped being ministry and started being work, but he kept saying yes anyway. By the time he walked out the door, he'd convinced himself God had told him to. This is the part of a testimony nobody tells. ▶ Pt 1 https://open.spotify.com/episode/3HINaL3iTA0vXt3aYdDL2D?si=38kI_I3NTKWmJGCAEcyCgg ▶ Pt 2 https://open.spotify.com/episode/5I0ddA0BBV4o7wLClyrKxW?si=lP_KF7KnTG68KF2UV2RC-Q _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.

  David Ayala: The Night I Finally Asked If He Was Real, and He Answered (Testimony) | EP #76 (Pt 2)

  Aug 3, 202657 min

  Banned from every school in his district, David had one door left — and it closed too. He was, they said, a threat to their children. His mother was ready to move them into a converted warehouse to pay for a school that had already turned him away, and she was still praying about it when the phone rang again. ▶ Pt 1 https://open.spotify.com/episode/3HINaL3iTA0vXt3aYdDL2D?si=38kI_I3NTKWmJGCAEcyCgg ▶ Pt 3 releases 8/10/26 _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.

  David Ayala: A Missing Father, a Stolen Gun, and a Mother's Arms (Testimony) | EP #75 (Pt 1)

  Jul 27, 202650 min

  David Ayala grew up in Houston's Fifth Ward, in a home where church stopped when he was six and the arguing didn't. By twelve he was in a detention center in an orange jumpsuit, bracing for exactly what his mother would say when she came. She said something else entirely. ▶ Pt 2 releases 8/3/26 · Pt 3 releases 8/10/26 _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.

  Episode #74

  Joseph Caillet: A Messy Walk, a Faithful God, and No Coincidences (Testimony) | EP #74 (Pt 3)

  Jul 20, 202657 min

  Joseph Caillet finally had everything he'd spent a lifetime chasing — the badge, the deployment, the purpose. What he didn't know was that the hardest nights of his life were still ahead, and no amount of training could carry him through them. In Part 3 of Joseph's testimony, he shares honestly about the night he felt the most helpless he's ever been, the losses that broke him, and the failures he was too ashamed to bring into church. But God wasn't finished with Joseph — and the man who once demanded "why are you doing this to me?" has become someone who plants seeds of the gospel in the most unexpected place of all. This is a story about a God who never wastes a single chapter — and the freedom that comes when "why me" finally becomes "lead the way." _________ Listen NOW for new episodes of the Real Jesus Experience Podcast: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealJesusExperience Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JuwyI6paw9T4o0ePzKVzj?si=4f9fe0390404463b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-jesus-experience/id1752479121 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6527259 Follow/Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJesusExperience X: https://x.com/JesusXperience TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.real.jesus.exp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_jesus_experience/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@the_real_jesus_experience _________ LIKE.
