FAITH WALKERS REAL TALK with guest KEITH BAKER

Minister Keith Baker. Born in Detroit, my life started in a storm—taken from my biological mother at just two years old, only to lose my father shortly after when a drunk driver stole his life on a motorcycle. Left in the care of my aunt, I spent the next decade and a half lost in the system, trapped in a cycle of jail cells from age 12 to 26. Then came 2001, and with it, a fresh start in Texas. Two years later, in June of 2003, I surrendered my life to the Lord—the moment the old me died and a brand-new life began. Fast forward to June 14th, 2026, when I married the absolute love of my life, proving that no matter how dark the beginning, redemption gets the final word.
