Ginger was born into a loving family and brought up in a good environment, but struggled with her self image from an early age. Ginger's story is one that will resonate with anyone who has a child with ADHD or has struggled with ADHD themselves personally. Her story is powerful, tragic, and beautiful in so many ways. The Devil is a part of her story, but he is the defeated part, and Jesus is the victor.

The conclusion of Matthew Anderson's amazing story. It's a happy ending all thanks to Jesus.
After a tragic truck accident, doctors thought Matthew would be a vegetable and encouraged his parents to pull the plug, but God had other plans and worked a great miracle of healing! Then along the difficult journey of physical recovery, he started down a path of meth addiction...and which culminated in emailing a photo of all his guns to the sheriff's office with a threat to kill any of them that trespassed on his property ...
Matthew bounced around a lot as a kid with his dad being in the Navy, but after settling in Columbus things started getting crazy his senior year of high school when he began running a teenage night club full time and selling drugs part time.
I love this phrase that Matt uses as he talks about when things turned around for his own life, and the only way things till turn around for the better for any of us. Better choices means a better life, and there are no better choices any of us could ever make than the choices that align with God's truth. This is what led Matt and Toni both out of the darkness, and what has given them a wonderful marriage and blessed life to...
Matt talks about the many years when he lived out of a backpack he could grab at a moment's notice to bolt out the back if a bounty hunter busted through the front. Toni also begins to share how she reconnected with Matt's family and became his pen pal in prison. This is a great episode, and we'd love to hear what you think! If you like our podcast please share it with your friends, and if you have any thoughts or ...
Part 2 of Matt's story dives deeper into the many years he spent in County Jail and Federal Prison. So much to learn and enjoyable to listen to! Please share the podcast with others and help us spread the word of hope!
Matt and Toni are happily married and doing well now, but before they ever met, each of them as individuals became trapped in the devil's playground where their lives nearly ended before they ever even met. This first episode begins with Matt's story.
Matt had a decent home life as a child, even with his dad being in a wheelchair and his mom working two jobs to try and pay the bills. But when his dad died the family bega...
Shelley's story comes to a beautiful conclusion and is a powerful illustration of the grace of God and the power of God to work miracles! Shelley shares some powerful lessons and godly wisdom from the crazy journey she has had in life, first with the devil and now with Jesus alone!
A High-Speed Police Chase through two states, navigating the heartache of a daughter that followed in her bad footsteps, and surrendering to the chastening hand of God so that He could remake her into something amazing for his glory and his purposes!
Shelley's life got off track as a young teenager when she began seeking the approval of others and hanging out with the wrong crowd. By the age of 17 she was pregnant and addicted to methamphetamine. Somehow, by the age of 18 she had gotten hired as a corrections officer in the county jail, where she was more comfortable with the inmates than she was with the other guards. Things get crazier from there.
In this final episode, Adam shares how the love of Jesus shown through SafeHouse Ministries, and the encounter with Jesus he had through his own personal surrender changed the trajectory of his life forever. Adam shares great truth about the fact that none of us really has the right to judge or condemn others, and that instead we should follow the example of Jesus and show grace and love instead. His story is a great example of h...
In this episode Adam continues his story and shares a time in his life when he became increasingly desperate and hopeless. He shares about a time when he was homeless for several years and describes how the enemy sneaks up on you in an attempt to steal away your life right from under your nose. Adam also shares how God brought him to a place in his heart, and to a place here in Columbus Georgia, where everything began to change.
Adam is the son of former Muscogee County Sherriff Ralph Johnson. Adam's family was hit with much hardship throughout his childhood, and Adam did not deal with it well. As a teenager heard his dad talk about undercover work and drug gang life, which held a strong allure for Adam, so strong in fact that he dove headfirst into that world. Adam shares his story, and it is intense, including a period of time when he had to get ...
Shannon shares in great detail about the demonic oppression she faced before she finally surrendered to the Lord and He brought her out of the darkness, but she still had to face the consequence of several years in one of the deadliest prisons in the state of Georgia. Shannon's story in this episode is intense, but through it all God's grace is on display. This is definitely an episode you will not want to miss!
Shannon shares it all, she opens up about being raped at age 14 and about the trajectory of tragedy her life took from that point on. She shares about multiple abusive and failed relationships, severe drug addiction, and how she came to the place where she felt that suicide was the answer. But God had other plans for Shannon!!!!!
Shannon exposes so many of the lies our Enemy (Satan) uses to lead us into darkness and try to trap us...
Jasmine's Mom loved her, but so often was not the mother that Jasmine needed, especially when her brother Duncan died in a car accident.
