Go to God Before He Comes to You | Pastor Juan Fraustro Testimony

In this powerful episode of the Angela Adkins Podcast, Angela sits down with Pastor Juan Fraustro, Lead Pastor of One Church Caldwell, to share a deeply personal testimony of surrender, redemption, and transformation.

During a dark season when his marriage was on the brink of divorce and life felt completely broken, Pastor Juan experienced a vivid dream that forced him to confront his life and make a life-changing decision.

Tonijean shares her personal testimony of healing from cancer and multiple chronic conditions, and challenges common narratives surrounding sugar, protein, autoimmune disease, and modern diet culture.

Together, they explore how faith, food, and freedom intersect — and what it truly means to present our bodies as a “living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1).

This episode blends gentle faith with bold truth, offering hope for anyone seeking abundant life in body, mind, and spirit.

Liver health and its role in overall wellness

Heart disease and blood pressure from a holistic perspective

Key Takeaways

✨ Healing involves both spiritual and practical wisdom.

— Romans 12:1
