Episode #49 - From Chains to Calling: Billy Branton’s Journey from Habitual Offender to Freedom Fighter in Christ.

In this gripping episode of the Black Sheep Recovery Warfare Podcast, John and Monica sit down with Billy Branton—a man whose story is nothing short of miraculous. From experimenting with drugs at 14, to a spiraling life of addiction, over 60 arrests, a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force, and facing a life sentence as a habitual offender… Billy’s road was dark. But in the heart of his wilderness, he encountered the living Word of God.
 
With nothing but a Bible and a desperate cry for truth, Billy gave up everything except Jesus. After 3.5 years of radical transformation behind bars, he walked out a free man with a vow to serve the Lord. Today, he’s a business owner, a father restored to his son, and a warrior for recovery—helping launch Celebrate Recovery groups and using his story to pull others from the fire.
 
You don’t want to miss this one. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s redemption.

Episode #47 - From Death to Discipleship: Jeremy Myers’ Journey of Radical Redemption

In this powerful new episode of Black Sheep Recovery Warfare, John and Monica sit down with Jeremy Myers—Chaplain of Walnut Grove Correctional Facility and Director of discipleship at Foundry Church—for a testimony that proves no pit is too deep for God’s reach.
 
Jeremy opens up about growing up in an alcoholic home, battling suicidal thoughts from the age of 7, and chasing escape through drugs, women, and work. After a devastating heart dissection nearly killed him, his addiction spiraled out of control. But just when death seemed inevitable, God broke in and called him out of the grave.
 
This episode isn’t just about recovery—it’s about God’s grace in the fallout of failure, hidden sin, public collapse, and the road back to purpose. Jeremy shares how losing his position in ministry became the catalyst for true healing and restoration, and how God didn’t just rescue him—He rebuilt him.
 
Now a husband, father, and shepherd to the incarcerated, Jeremy’s life is living proof that even after the crash, God can call the Black Sheep to lead others home.
