  • A Story of Redemption part 2

    In the powerful conclusion of a two-part episode, host Bodie D'Andrea continues the raw and redemptive conversation with Christine Rodriguez. Having survived homelessness and prison, Christine seemed to have rebuilt it all—a nursing career, a family, and a home. But when betrayal and addiction pulled her back to the streets, her fall was even darker and more desperate than before.

    Christine shares the harrowing three-year battle that brought her to a breaking point, including moments of profound danger where she called out to God from the deepest darkness. This is the story of hitting absolute rock bottom and finding that God's voice was still there, leading to a final, desperate decision for rehab. Now sober for 16 months, Christine has been restored to her family and her faith, and is pursuing a ministry to show others that no matter how far they've fallen, they are never beyond the reach of love and redemption. Her journey is the essence of Re-Establishment.
