Today's podcast will be Kristi sharing her story of Addiction and Pain from the perspective of a parent.  Next week Grace, Kristi's daughter will be sharing her story from the perspective of a daughter who grew up with a parent that struggled desperately with addiction.  If you listen to both perspectives, you'll come away with a deepened understanding of the struggle of pain and destruction that addiction brings into the lives of so many.  May God use these episodes to speak to us and help us to grow into the kind of people who can make a bigger difference to break this destructive cycle and help people move past the pain and into the joy of victory and reconciliation.
