  • Still Be You | Jimmy Hunt
    May 12 2026

    In this episode of Escaping the Chains, Jimmy Hunt shares a powerful testimony about identity, peace, purpose, false accusations, and learning how to trust God through pressure.

    From facing 30 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit… to finding purpose in the middle of isolation… this conversation is full of real wisdom, transparency, and encouragement.

    One of the most powerful moments:
    “Your life is like a camera. What you focus on becomes bigger.”

  • Quit Watering Weeds | Dray Stewart (ft. Trustie)
    May 5 2026

    In this episode of Escaping the Chains, Dray Stewart (ft. Trustie) shares a story that goes beyond testimony—into what it actually looks like to hit rock bottom and encounter real change.

    But what hits hardest isn’t just the story…

    It’s this line:
    “Quit watering weeds.”

    How many things are getting time, energy, and attention… that aren’t producing anything?

    This conversation gets into:

    • What faith actually looks like when it costs something
    • The tension between providing vs calling
    • Why “good” isn’t always “God”
    • What it means to finally take the step and jump

    For anyone feeling stuck, comfortable, or unsure what the next move is—this one will challenge that.

  • No Plan B | Escaping the Chains x Nathan Harmon
    Apr 20 2026

    What if the worst thing you’ve ever done didn’t disqualify you—but became the very thing God used to set others free?

    In this episode, Nathan Harmon shares how a fatal drunk driving accident, radical forgiveness from the victim’s family, and a prison cell became the turning point for a life now spent reaching 2 million+ students in over 1,600 schools. We talk about brokenness, mental health, self-harm, youth culture, testimony as a weapon, and what it really means to live with no Plan B and “hours with God, minutes with men.
