On this podcast episode Jose M. Mendoza joins me to share how life was growing up on the southside of Chicago in the Brighton Park neighborhood.  From the age of 3 months old his mom leaves him to his grandma to be raised by her. He never meets his father. Brighton Park was heavily gang infested and in the 7th grade he finds himself pulled in to that lifestyle.  Alcohol and drugs begin to take over his life and gun violence soon follows. He finds himself constantly getting locked up, in and out of the juvenile system and county prison. Many years later he moves to Texas to escape the life he was leading out here but he is consumed by an alcohol & drug addiction. He finds himself homeless and hopeless until God steps in. Tune in to hear this man's story of redemption as well as all the ministry work he is currently involved in.
