Meth Addict, Felon, Excommunicated—Troy’s Transformation From Darkness to the Light of Jesus Christ

“Never judge a book by its cover. Because I’m covered with tattoos. You know, I got tattoos all over my neck, everywhere I’m covered. Don’t ever look down on nobody. The only time you look down at somebody is if you have a hand stretched out to help the person up. Just like my Savior had His hand stretched out to me. For so long. Finally I grasped ahold of His hand and He lifted me right outta my darkness, and now my light can shine. It’s my prayer and my hope now that people want to know Christ because they know me.”

Your experience matters—whether it’s still unfolding or long behind you. The Come Back Podcast exists because real people are willing to share real journeys. If you’ve stepped away from faith, wrestled with doubt, or found your way back in a way that doesn’t fit a simple narrative, we’d love to hear from you.
