BTC EP #27: Rare of Breed Episode

In BTC Episode #27, Josh Torbich sits down with Rob Hardin of Rare of Breed for a powerful conversation about addiction, redemption, identity, perseverance, and the transforming power of faith in Jesus Christ. Rob shares the remarkable story of being removed from his home and entering foster care at eight years old, using poetry and music to process childhood trauma, struggling with drug addiction as a teenager, attending Tar Heel ChalleNGe Academy, facing incarceration, and ultimately reaching a life-changing moment of surrender. On September 4, 2011, Rob and his future wife walked to an altar together, surrendered their lives to Christ, and were baptized. That decision changed the direction of their lives and became the foundation of a ministry that would eventually reach millions of people through music, concerts, prison tours, and Rare of Breed’s distinctive blend of Christian rap, country, Southern rock, and faith-filled storytelling known as “God Twang.” Rob also discusses the ten years of unseen work that preceded his success, the importance of developing strong spiritual roots, the temptation to quit, the role his wife played in encouraging him, and why lasting purpose requires faithfulness long before anyone sees the results. Behind the Citgo is also available on major podcast and streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, iHeartRadio, and other leading podcast services.
