Redeemed & Restored
Welcome to the Redeemed and Restored Podcast, a powerful journey of hope, transformation, and faith. Host Michael Noland shares the raw and unfiltered story of his own battle with addiction, which spanned over 30 years from the age of 12. Through his personal testimony of struggle, pain, and ultimate victory, he offers listeners a beacon of hope and proof that radical change is possible—no matter how impossible the circumstances may seem.

From those who have faced similar struggles and also found freedom, the podcast features powerful testimonies of healing and transformation.
Above all, Redeemed and Restored aims to inspire and encourage listeners, showing them that no matter how deep their struggle or how far they’ve fallen, change is possible. It is rooted in the belief that true restoration comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ, the only solution to our deepest brokenness. Tune in for a reminder that redemption is real, hope is alive, and healing is always within reach.
