In this heartfelt episode of the Rine Podcast, host Dan sits down with James and Darlene—high school sweethearts, lifelong believers, and true examples of faith in motion. Together, they share their remarkable journey through redemption, marriage restoration, and decades of ministry to Boston’s most forgotten people.

Darlene and James open up about their early years—the challenges of addiction, the power of prayer, and the moment God stepped into their story to bring transformation and healing. From a miraculous deliverance from alcoholism to a renewed marriage grounded in faith, their testimony is a powerful reminder that no life is beyond God’s reach.

Listeners are drawn into Darlene’s incredible calling to serve the homeless and addicted in Boston. What began with a whispered prompting from God—“go back, you prayed for My heart”—has grown into a decade-long street ministry providing food, clothing, prayer, and love to hundreds living on the margins. Darlene recounts divine encounters, answered prayers, and the unexplainable peace that only God can give while serving in the city’s toughest areas like Mass Ave. From helping families reconnect with lost loved ones to witnessing miraculous transformations and moments of deliverance, her story captures the heartbeat of true revival.

Meanwhile, James reflects on the quiet but vital work of support and intercession, reminding listeners that the body of Christ has many parts—some on the front lines, some behind the scenes—but all working together in unity and love. Their story of partnership, perseverance, and purpose showcases what it means to serve faithfully even when life gets hard.

Through laughter, humility, and tears, this conversation touches on:

• The transforming power of Jesus in marriage and family.
• How the Holy Spirit still moves in New England’s hearts and streets.
• What it means to love the overlooked with compassion instead of judgment.
• The importance of unity, prayer, and being willing to be “uncomfortable for God.”

As Darlene puts it, “They can’t stop me from praying for them.” Her unstoppable love for people radiates through every story, reminding us that revival isn’t confined to church walls—it’s found in every act of love and obedience that points others to Christ.

Faith in Action: Restoring Hope on the Streets of Boston invites us all to look beyond ourselves, to see every person as someone God loves deeply, and to ask the question: “How willing am I to be uncomfortable for God?”

Whether you’re seeking inspiration, renewal, or a reminder that miracles still happen, this episode will stir your faith and challenge you to live it out boldly in your own community.
