In this powerful episode of The Upgrade Podcast, Pastor Joe and Alicia sit down with longtime friends and pastors, John and Susan, to share an extraordinary story of faith, survival, and redemption.

From traumatic childhood experiences and near-death moments to life inside a controlling religious cult, John and Susan recount how they found Jesus in the 1970s, lost themselves in a distorted, works-based version of faith, and ultimately found freedom.

Their story doesn’t end with leaving the cult — it begins there. This episode is about rediscovering the real Jesus, rebuilding life and marriage, healing from spiritual abuse, and staying faithful through it all.

It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s proof that even after deep deception, it’s still only up from here.

This episode is raw, honest, and hopeful. It’s a conversation about marriage under pressure, unhealed wounds, the power of godly counseling, and what it really means to find your voice. If you’ve ever wondered whether breakthrough can come after breakdown, this one is for you.

In the very first episode of The Upgrade Podcast, Pastor Joe Adevai shares the heart behind the show’s tagline—“It’s only up from here”—and the story that gave it weight.

This episode is a candid, faith-forward invitation to stop living below your potential, hit the “reboot” button, and start moving toward the person God created you to be.
