  • Meth to Miracle Dad | Bryan Sandella
    Jun 25 2026

    After years of meth, prison, and losing his family, Bryan surrendered his son to God. Then one text changed everything.

    After years of cooking and selling meth, he hit rock bottom and served two years in prison. There, he found Jesus, married his wife after release, and began rebuilding his life. He shares the pain of losing nearly everything, including his relationship with his son, who once told a judge he didn’t want to see him. That moment forced Bryan to confront his motives and learn to love without expecting anything in return.

    He surrendered his son to God and after eight years of silence, received a life-changing text:

    “Yo, Dad.”

    This is a story of forgiveness, faith, and the power of surrender. If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs hope.

    In this episode of Escaping the Chains, Jimmy Hunt shares a powerful testimony about identity, peace, purpose, false accusations, and learning how to trust God through pressure.
