Invest In The Lord Podcast

A podcast featuring raw, first-person testimonies from former criminals and addicts who have undergone profound religious transformations.

The brief

This is a platform for Christian testimony, focusing on the most dramatic conversion stories. Each episode is a long-form, uninterrupted narrative from a single guest who details their life before and after finding faith, often involving crime, prison, and severe addiction.

The show's tight focus on guests from backgrounds of serious crime and addiction, and its unpolished, non-interrogative interview style, allows guests to tell their story in their own words for long stretches.

How the host interviews

Host Adrian Martinez employs a non-interventional, supportive interview style. He typically opens with a very broad invitation for the guest to begin their story wherever they see fit. He rarely interrupts, allowing the guest to narrate their life story—from childhood trauma and addiction to their moment of spiritual surrender—in a single, long monologue. His questions are minimal and serve only to gently prompt the guest to elaborate on a point they've already raised. The focus is entirely on the guest's testimony, with the host acting as a facilitator rather than an interrogator.

The host, Adrian Martinez, introduces each guest with a detailed summary of their story before letting them speak uninterrupted for most of the episode. The format is a straightforward, single-guest testimony, often sourced from social media. The show's YouTube channel also features many short clips from the longer interviews.
