EP8 Check out my website, latest merch & uploads! https://giosamigos.com/ In this powerful episode, 2x platinum artist Testimony Tony, formerly known as Dapper Don, shares his transformative journey from the entertainment industry to living fully for Christ as a committed Christian rap artist. During his early career under the name Dapper Don, he worked alongside the influential group Kumbia Kings, a Latin music powerhouse with deep Texas roots and ties to the legacy of Selena. With strong connections to Corpus Christi, a city where Selena’s impact still runs deep, this story carries cultural weight as well as spiritual significance.Joining him is Brother Z, founder of Flawless Ministries, whose journey also began in the entertainment world. The two first met years ago while working on a music video, long before either of them realized how God would redirect their paths. What started in the industry has now turned into Kingdom purpose.Together they speak candidly about forgiveness, healing, and the power of personal testimony. They emphasize the importance of community, outreach, and being open about past struggles so others can find hope. They also share how music continues to serve as a vehicle for ministry and how God is still actively working in their lives.This episode is a reminder that no level of fame replaces faith, no past disqualifies purpose, and God can transform any platform into a pulpit.Start your own website/merch store/community for FREE!
