Show notes
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Daniel Goulding, pastor, father, and survivor for one of the most raw and redemptive conversations I’ve ever had on the show. Daniel shares his journey of being sexually abused as a child, burying that trauma for years, and the chaos that followed from addiction and self-destruction to a near-suicide attempt in a drug dealer’s bathroom. But this story isn’t just about pain, it’s about grace, healing, and transformation.Daniel opens up about the moment everything shifted: when he cried out to God, not knowing if He was even real, and felt peace for the first time. We explore the beauty of redemption, what it means to forgive the unforgivable, and how he went from broken addict to preaching the Gospel and baptizing dozens at his own church.If you’ve ever doubted God’s presence in your darkest moments, this one's for you. Daniel’s story is proof that there’s always a way back.Key Moments:4:40 How we met and became friends8:04 How trauma shaped Daniel14:00 Wrestling with forgiveness as a Christian18:55 A near-death experience32:09 The moment Daniel almost ended his life37:16 How he encountered God for the first time42:00 Discovering Jesus through unexpected moments46:20 Preaching for the first time51:05 Why Daniel preaches the way he does59:56 Why Daniel started Echo Church1:05:46 The story of Nehemiah and the call to buildGuest Info:IG: https://www.instagram.com/danielmgoulding/Website: https://www.echoes.church/#TRAUMA #god #abuseprevention -Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/
