Have you ever felt rejected for being who you are?
Many episodes here on the show have highlighted issues where people are rejected or, worse, injured for someone just being who they are. Today we are talking with DeVannon, who has a story written over the last decade. He now helps others fight their battles with sex, drugs, and Jesus.
A common theme on the show is that pain can have a purpose and those who find it begin a road to healing.
