A Full-Circle Moment of God’s Grace

The Abundant Life
When a man calls us looking for help, he’s often at the lowest place of his life. Many are homeless. Some have lost their marriages. Others haven’t spoken to their children in years. Most feel like they’ve lost everything because of addiction. They come in carrying the crushing weight of shame, depression, and regret. The enemy truly has stolen, killed, and destroyed so much in their lives.
But then—they meet Jesus.
