In this eye-opening and inspiring  @KnockinDoorzDown  podcast episode, I'm joined by Luke Hockenjos.

Luke was on a fast track toward death until the Lord intervened and saved his life. After many years of drug abuse, running from the law, and alcoholism Luke decided he was ready to die. After being cut off on the interstate and a high-speed chase, he pointed the nose of his truck toward the other vehicle and attempted to ram them off of a bridge. He heard the Lord say to him "This is not the plan I have for you, it's time for you to go." He put his truck in reverse and a few hours later stopped using drugs and surrendered his life completely to the Lord.

In this revealing and inspiring  @KnockinDoorzDown  podcast episode, LEARN when and why Mark MacNicol created Anonymous Drama.

Anonymous Drama is ‘drama therapy’ for people who usually have no interest in either. Anonymous-Drama contains elements of both ‘Psycho-Drama’ and also ‘Drama-Therapy’ but the main difference is that all of the work is done ‘in character’ using fiction by proxy as a safety net making the environment less emotionally charged or triggering.
