Chris Mitchell on Trauma, Music & Faith How Healing Really Happens Powered by Eternal Water

Chris Mitchell sits down with Dr. Jay Barnett to share the raw truth about healing after trauma that nearly destroyed his family. From witnessing his mother fight for her life after a near-fatal stabbing to navigating life as a pastor’s kid in South Park, Houston, Chris takes us inside the emotional chaos few ever hear about. He opens up about the power of forgiveness, why healing had to start at the altar, and how a God-given gift—his saxophone—became both his voice and his escape. Chris talks about hustling on the sidewalk for tips, being homeless while chasing purpose, and the miracle moments that reminded him he wasn’t forgotten. This isn’t just a story of survival. It’s a testimony of divine resilience, radical healing, and learning how to still believe in yourself after everything’s been taken from you. Dr. Jay and Chris remind us: sometimes the greatest healing comes when you stop performing for approval and start confronting your pain head-on. If you’ve ever felt like your childhood broke something in you that you’re still trying to fix... this episode is for you.
