With great transparency, Dr. Skip Moen shares what he believes are the stages in a journey to finding God. Skip's belief is based on his own journey of spiritual transformation that occurred as a result of a crisis. His experience led to the cathartic writing of a daily devotional for over 7,000 consecutive days exploring Scripture. www.skipmoen.com

Skip explains how money and a desire for independence had displaced God in his life, until God allowed it all to be taken away. Skip discusses how, through that experience, he came to discover a world of dependency that made life worthwhile.

Skip walks us through the stages of faith that begin with the joy of discovering God's forgiveness and end with finally finding God.

He also shares why he believes, based on traveling the world, that the common language of human beings is pain and the common antidote is to "be heard" by someone who does not try to fix you and cares enough not to walk away. Healing comes through community.

Rev. Albert Ray Dancy shares with tremendous vulnerability a life story that proves beyond any doubt that we worship a God of second chances. Dancy tells how he went from a prisoner serving time for armed robbery to a prison chaplain. He transparently notes that while his role had changed, his heart had not been transformed. For the heart change to occur, Dancy had to experience a "dark night of the soul" in which he lost everything--including his home, marriage and children. He explains how he felt like a "beast". Although he was back in prison, God sent hope through a prophetic word and then miraculously restored him to his marriage (which had been dissolved for seven years), his children and his home.
