EP 211 “Driven”

 

This episode is jammed packed with fun. We start off with announcements and we talk football and baseball. And yes, it’s fun because I’m a Steeler fan. I fixed some things Jessa messed up in the studio.

 

We show the recap video from the Arts of Oppression art show, put on by Miles of Freedom. Some great art.

 

Then show the shout out video zoom call. There’s some special guests on there too.

 

I share a quick devotional on staying close enough to God to hear His reminders .

 

Then, Scott and Tabitha from Driven Re-Entry. Their story is crazy good and Jesus was all up in their story from the addiction chapter, to the prison ministry chapter, to the re-entry house chapter.

 

You need to hear their story and probably send to several people you know. There’s resources mentioned in this episode that will help people in addiction.
