Hey, I'm Jason Rackow, director of Wow God Stories. I wanted to check in with you about something you've seen in the news recently.

Just days after we spotlighted disaster relief through Eight Days of Hope, historic flash floods devastated Central Texas. More than 100 lives were lost, and many others are still missing. As families grieve, we turn to a powerful story of redemption shared by Eight Days of Hope's founder, Steve Tybor. It's the story of Caleb, a man who thought he was disqualified from being used by God. But in one holy moment, everything changed. A story of forgiveness. A story of purpose. A reminder that God can redeem even the most broken pasts.
