Over the weekend, I had a profoundly impactful experience. On Friday night, I conducted an interview with two remarkable women (Christina Cricks and Jacqui Fullerton) that left a lasting impression on me. The spontaneous nature of the interview - with no prior preparation - allowed for a raw and authentic conversation. Christina, whom I had known for over 20 years, revealed the depths of her personal struggles for the first time. Her story, filled with darkness and despair, resonated with me on a deep level. Through our conversation, I gained insights not only about her journey but also about myself and the purpose of this podcast. It was a humbling experience to realize that our connection was so meaningful to her. Despite initial skepticism about my faith in Jesus, she eventually recognized the sincerity of my beliefs and remarked, "he loves Jesus like I love Jesus." This affirmation of our shared faith was truly a blessing and a reminder of the power of mutual support and understanding.

Both Christina and Jacqui were what seemed to be stuck in a world of pain and addiction. Wanting to die but holding on and fighting every day until they were able to grow step by step and allow God to take their heart, transform their lives, and walk in a new life on a firm foundation.

I invite you to listen to the full interview, as it shares a compelling narrative of redemption and transformation through the grace of God and the support of others. Both interviewees have overcome profound challenges and found strength in each other, serving as a beacon of hope and inspiration for those on the path to recovery. Overall, this was a powerful reminder of the resilience and compassion present within the recovery community. I am grateful for the opportunity to witness these transformative stories and to be part of a network of individuals dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others.

This episode is the first episode I've done in a group setting. I tried to have everyone that I interviewed all at once, but I ran out of microphones (so we're missing a fella). During this episode we all get to catch up to see how we're all doing with our adventures in sobriety. On this podcast the guests that I have on board are James Segroves, Paul Britt, Andy Spreeuwers, and Robert Davidson. We not only touch base on our current walk with living sober but discuss how we all got to where we are today through thick and thin.

I spend a lot of time very late at night scrolling through social media sites for video and audio clips of people pouring out their heart on matters that we all come face to face with on our journey of finding out who God is, and how we can learn to fully trust him. On this episode I have a montage of many clips of people giving testimonies of their lives in Christ and what a difference it makes. Some of the messages are clips explaining the beauty of God, and some are testimonies on breakthroughs people have where they grow to a deeper level of understanding who God is. But what the all the clips boil down to is that God just wants your heart.
