What if your earliest memories were filled with addiction, abuse, and survival? For Zachary Fraley, that was reality—until a radical encounter with Jesus changed everything.

In this raw and deeply moving episode of The Overcomers Podcast, Kristen sits down with Zachary, now a lead pastor in Iowa, as he shares his journey from a traumatic childhood—marked by instability, addiction, and loss—to a life of healing, forgiveness, and purpose in Christ.

You’ll hear:

  • What it was like being the child of two addicts

  • The life-changing decision he made alone in a car after hitting rock bottom

  • How God called him into ministry through unexpected signs

  • His mission to revitalize the local church in one of America’s most unchurched cities

This is more than a testimony—it’s a story of spiritual transformation, deep healing, and God's relentless pursuit of His children. If you’ve ever questioned whether your past disqualifies you from your purpose, this episode will encourage your heart.
