All this week on Chris Fabry Live, we'll re-air some of the best conversations of the year. To start the week, you'll hear about Linda’s spiritual journey. She tried to find contentment in many things but came up empty until she discovered the abundant life Jesus offers. And that radical change led her to a ministry that encourages people behind prison walls. Don't miss Linda's story on Chris Fabry Live.

We're going back to the archives for a conversation about lessons from a classic film.
