The Question That Haunted a Rwanda Genocide Survivor
Nearly one million people were killed during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Ben survived. His father didn't. And one question stayed with him: “Why did I survive?”
In this powerful episode of the Inspire Hope Podcast, Samuel Bernard sits down with Ben, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, to hear his remarkable story of survival, devastating loss, and faith.
When violence swept through Rwanda in 1994, Ben lost his father. Yet he, his mother, and his five siblings survived.
While many people ask, “Why did this happen to me?” Ben found himself wrestling with a different question: “Why was I spared when so many others died?”
How do you process such unimaginable loss? How do you make sense of surviving when others didn't? And where is God in the middle of suffering?
This is an honest conversation about grief, survivor's guilt, God's providence, and finding hope after tragedy.
🎧 Listen to Ben's testimony and discover why his story is one you won't soon forget.

Jesus Met Her Right Where She Was
Real story. Real people. Real faith
She went to bed that night overwhelmed with gratitude, thanking Jesus for what she had witnessed.
Then everything changed.
In the middle of the night, she experienced what she describes as a terrifying demonic attack—unable to move, surrounded by darkness, and desperately trying to understand what was happening.
Then one instruction came to her spirit:
“Say Jesus.”
At first, she could barely get the words out. But when she finally cried out the name of Jesus, everything broke.
This is a powerful testimony about fear, spiritual warfare, and the authority found in the name of Jesus.
The heart of the Inspire Hope Podcast is simple: If God can do it in their lives, He can do it in my life as well.

How Can You Still Call God Father After What Happened?
What happens when some of the most painful chapters of your life become the very words you use to worship God?
In this episode of the Inspire Hope Podcast, Samuel sits down with Krystal for an honest conversation about pain, healing, identity, worship, and discovering the heart of God as Father.
Krystal's story carries difficult chapters, but those chapters don't get the final word. Through her journey, she shares how God met her in places of hurt, how her understanding of Him changed, and how experiences that could have defined her by pain have instead become part of the testimony—and even the lyrics—through which she worships her Heavenly Father.
This isn't a story about pretending the past didn't happen. It's about discovering that God can meet us in our deepest wounds and write something different with our lives.
If you've ever struggled to reconcile painful experiences with the goodness and love of God, this conversation is for you.
🎧 Listen to Krystal's story and be reminded that your past doesn't have to have the final word.
If God can do it in their lives, He can do it in my life as well.
