Think your past disqualifies you? This episode will challenge that lie. Roosevelt Sargent opens up about leaving gang life, becoming a teenage father, and walking through grief, addiction, and the kind of endurance that looks like crying in a bathroom stall, praying, and getting back up anyway. We talk imposter syndrome, learning to trust discernment, and how Roosevelt turned testimony into Christian rap, touring, and now mainstream storytelling through film and novels—evangelism for the unchurched that’s honest about struggle and relentless about grace. Plus: his REP Factor (Risk, Effort, Profit) decision tool to get unstuck and take your next step with God—while afraid.
