Join Tony and I for this heartfelt, transparent and honest conversation about homelessness, addiction and how the love of God redeems us no matter how far away we have gone. Tony is on staff at CU church and lives out his mission and heart for the homeless community.

Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.” Matthew 22:37-40 (MSG)

Scripture tells us that God has a plan for our lives. Often times our plan and God's plan are on different timelines. Life unfolds through experiences that we wouldn't have asked for and definitely wouldn't have planned--but somehow--in His infinite plan and wisdom, it ends up being for our good and for His glory. 

Larron Ables knows this firsthand. 

Join Larron and I for this behind the scenes conversation of how he became a cast member on Season 4 of the primetime CBS TV show called Tough As Nails. Through authenticity, he shares the highs and lows of how God guided this life changing experience of being selected for the TV show and how the cast that met as strangers are now bonded like family. 

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
