This episode teaches about on one of the biggest reasons for the success SafeHouse Ministries' clients are able to see. Ultimately, every person has to take personal responsibility for their own life and take action to improve it, but this is extremely hard to do when you find yourself at rock bottom with absolutely nothing. It is huge when SafeHouse is able to step in and provide all the basic necessities of life such shelter, food, clothing, etc. so that people can focus on following the program of getting sober, learning how to work and be dependable, and save up money to launch the next phase of their life.

There is so much to learn from this episode, including topics such as the role of government and welfare entitlements, and how government can play a positive role in helping people rather than strengthening a system that is holding people back.

Such a great discussion on how just a few simple and fundamental qualities can make all the difference in our lives. This episode is a great one to learn about what so often separates those who forge ahead and excel, and those who flounder and fail.

Partnerships with business owners are a huge part of the long term success ramp for the clients we serve at SafeHouse Ministries. Business owners who partner with us not only provide jobs for our many clients upon their graduation from our programs, but they also provide continuing training to help them keep developing the character and skills they need to be able to succeed long term. John Anker is one of those business owners who has partnered with SafeHouse Ministries for many years. In this episode we get to know a little bit about John and his father, whose example of overcoming tremendous obstacles deeply influenced John. John shares about how important the right mindset is to be able to survive and overcome the many immense obstacles that our clients often have to face.

So much to learn from Garron's story. Alcohol is a deceptive and destructive tool used by the enemy to hurt so many people around us. Let Garron's tale of sorrow be a warning and let his example of rising from the ashes give you hope!

Part 2 of Garron's Story

Garron's story is a powerful testimony to the disadvantage a child has when they don't have two parents to love, train, and keep them on the right path.

Shun's backslide into darkness left him ultimately homeless and living out of his truck. After ultimately coming back to Columbus, Shun got connected with SafeHouse Ministries and was able to get into Freedom House (the men's shelter) and into the housing program so that he now has his own place and able to plan a path for a bright future for the rest of his life.

Shun began making changes and walking a better path after getting out of prison, but he failed to address some very powerful root habits that ended up derailing him again. He fell back into drugs and ended up with a failed marriage after 13 years being together with his wife. So many powerful stories and lessons to learn in this episode.
