Vinny Oshana: Truth, Temptation, and Total Surrender

About this episode

Vinny Oshana shares his journey through chaos and addiction, culminating in a radical encounter with Jesus and a discussion on faith and identity.

You may know Vinny from the PBD Podcast… the debates, the bold takes, the nickname “The Angry Patriot.” But that’s not the full story. Behind the voice is a man who walked through chaos, addiction, loss, and a moment that should have taken his life. A night he didn’t go out… A decision he can’t fully explain… And a phone call the next morning that changed everything. In this conversation, Vinny opens up about: Growing up in a broken home and watching his mom hold everything together The party lifestyle that nearly destroyed him The moment God intervened… before he even realized it His radical encounter with Jesus that led to complete surrender What it really means to struggle with sin while still pursuing faith Why truth isn’t popular… but it’s necessary This isn’t a polished, perfect testimony. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s honest. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith, identity, purpose, or the tension between who you are and who you’re called to be… this episode will hit. Because faith over fear isn’t just something you wear. It’s something you live.
