In this episode we sit down with renowned traditional tattoo artist Derek Billingsley.

If you’ve ever seen Training Day, you’ve only caught a glimpse of what real-life corruption can look like. In this raw and unfiltered episode, we sit down with former LAPD officer Ruben Palomares — once a decorated cop who crossed the line and became the very thing he swore to fight.
Ruben takes us deep into his world — from growing up in the rough streets of Los Angeles, to the adrenaline-fueled days in uniform, to living the double life that eventually came crashing down. His story reads like a Hollywood script: power, money, betrayal, and the inevitable fall. But this isn’t fiction — this is real life.
After years in federal prison, Ruben found something the streets and the badge could never give him — peace through Christ. His journey from a rogue cop to a redeemed man of faith is a powerful reminder that no one is too far gone for God’s grace.
This episode isn’t just about crime and corruption — it’s about redemption, repentance, and rebirth. All this and more in a powerful and unforgettable episode.
In this powerful episode of the Street Gospel Podcast, we sit down with James Anguiano, founder of Juda’s House Reformed Prison Ministry. Once abandoned by family, bound to the hood life and incarceration, James shares his incredible testimony of transformation through Christ and how that journey led him to launch a ministry focused on true reformation from the inside out. Juda’s House isn't just about temporary change — it’s about bringing lasting, Gospel-centered transformation to men behind bars and beyond. Through discipleship, accountability, and a firm foundation in the Word of God, James and his team are helping rebuild lives that the world often overlooks. In this episode, we discuss the realities of prison life, the spiritual battles within, and how the power of faith is restoring hope where it was once lost. This is more than a story — it’s a movement of redemption and reform. Tune in to hear how God is using Juda’s House to raise up men who were once broken, now walking in purpose and freedom.
Jalin Turner returns to the Street Gospel Podcast — but this isn’t the same Jalin you remember. In this episode, we reconnect with the UFC lightweight in an entirely new way. He’s more centered, more at peace, and more formidable than ever — and it’s not just in the cage. God has been doing a lot in his life, and you can see it.
Jalin opens up about the journey he’s undergone — shifting from pursuing victories to seeking purpose. He shares insights on fatherhood, faith, and the behind-the-scenes realities of the fight world — the aspects that don’t make it to TV. While he hints to not officially hanging them up, he’s not actively seeking the limelight either. If he returns to the cage, it will be on his own terms.
This episode is transparent, sincere, and packed with valuable insights. It’s a conversation about growth, redemption, and embracing a life of purpose — both inside and outside the cage.
In this episode, we sit down for a second visit with Kyle Carnohan, the creator of @superhumanfathers Kyle shares the powerful changes that have shaped his life over the past few years—from feeling invincible to realizing his deep need for a Savior.
He holds nothing back as he talks about the highs, the lows, and the moments that broke him wide open. Kyle reminds us that no matter how strong you think you are, life has a way of humbling everyone. Sometimes, almost hitting rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of discovering who you really are and what you’re truly made of.
Now walking a new path—grounded in faith with a new purpose—Kyle is still learning, still growing, and still helping men be better fathers and husbands from his own experiences.
Don’t miss this raw, honest, and much-needed conversation!
