Radha Vyas grew up in a loving Hindu family who welcomed her religious curiosity and encouraged her seeking. She attended church several times with friends, but always went back to her family's faith. Several years after college, she found herself depressed and exhausted, unable to do enough good to feel worthy of love. Everything changed when she started a new job and made friends with a couple of Christians. Radha's story will inspire you to press deeper into your own faith. Listen and share with someone who needs the everlasting love of Jesus this Advent season.

Traci Henegar always had a strong bond with her oldest son, Davis. So when his behavior began to change at fourteen years old, she knew something was wrong. She was right. Davis had developed an almost instantaneous addiction to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. For the next ten years, they fought furiously, but ultimately the drugs were too strong. Now, Traci shares Davis's story of Substance Abuse Disorder to honor Davis and inform others about the dangers of prescription drugs.
