Provision and Prayer
Guest: Tom Callahan

As we move along on our journeys of faith it becomes easy for us to become jaded, quickly losing sight of how God is moving in our lives and the lives of others. This is a testimony of Provision and answered Prayers, how God moves in often surprising ways.

Season 5 - Episode 7
Young's Story
Guest: Young Jin Ghun

On our last episode we spoke with Young Ghun about Real Change in recovery. Instead of talking about his own story and past we focused more on his present, and how he helps people now. Young’s story is one that we documented at length in a prior episode, and we thought it would be a great time to re-share that story, so that all can see just how much God radically change a life. Enjoy this this re-cast of Young’s story from 2022.

Season 5 - Episode 4
A Life of Addiction
Guest: Curtis Pitts

In this episode, we are joined by Curtis Pitts to discuss what often happens in early recovery... Manipulation. Many times, people enter a recovery facility or a shelter, and still haven't surrendered their will. The guests will often do everything they can to appear like they are working on themselves, while still fooling their friends, counselors, family, and even themselves. Curtis draws the parallels between this time of recovery and the biblical terminology of hypocrisy.
