From Pride and Control to Christ: A Redemption Story

Episode notes

Latchkey kid. Pride. Control. Then a street-corner encounter with Christ.

Brian Buono's redemption story, and what God did next.

Brian opens up about:
• Growing up in a fractured home after his parents’ divorce
• The heavy weight of “fake it till you make it” and the facade of success
• His breaking point with anxiety and health fears
• The simple “Repent” sign that led him to salvation in a Verizon parking lot
• What true freedom in Jesus Christ really means

We also talk about the heart behind Faith & Freedom Fest, a free, family-friendly outreach event designed to bring the gospel outside the church walls and into the community.
