ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Born in the heart of Chicago, Light Has Dawned brings you raw, honest stories of transformation from people who have walked through real darkness and encountered the hope of Jesus Christ.
Former gang members, ex-inmates, survivors of trauma, police officers, chaplains, ministry leaders, and community voices share their stories of struggle, faith, redemption, and purpose.
These conversations carry the grit of Chicago's streets and the grace of a God who still saves, heals, restores, and transforms lives.
Every episode is honest, personal, and rooted in the truth that no life is beyond the reach of God's redemption.
Our name is inspired by Matthew 4:16 (NKJV):
"The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned."
Real people. Real stories. Real redemption.
Light Has Dawned.
