From Wrong To Strong

Born in the heart of Chicago, this podcast brings you raw, unfiltered stories of transformation from people who’ve lived through real darkness. Former gang members, ex-inmates, survivors of trauma, police officers, chaplains, and community voices.

These conversations carry the grit of Chicago’s streets and the grace of a God who still heals and restores. Every episode is honest, emotional, and rooted in the truth that no life is beyond redemption.

If you want stories that challenge you, strengthen your faith, and remind you that God can turn any life from wrong to strong, you’re in the right place.

Real Chicago. Real stories. Real redemption.
From Darkness To Light & From Wrong To Strong.
