In this powerful episode of Living Testimonies, Adam Swedenburg opens up about his journey from a traumatic childhood in foster care to a life of purpose as a youth pastor and podcast host.
Removed from an abusive home at age three, Adam was adopted by a youth pastor but battled deep anger toward God, leading him into addiction and gang life. His transformation began when he noticed the unexplainable joy of churchgoers even in the face of loss. Though he gave his life to Christ at 16, surrender was a process—and so was discovering his true calling.
From walking away from nursing school to pursue ministry, to building a thriving youth group from 3 to over 23 students, Adam’s testimony is a moving reminder that our darkest moments can become the foundation of our greatest purpose.
Whether you’re in the middle of your own valley or supporting someone who is, this episode will stir your faith and inspire hope.
