Renew. Restore. Rejoice. A SafeHouse Ministries Podcast

Neil's story was one of the earliest podcast episodes.  In this reboot episode Neil shares his personal testimony of how God raised him up and brought him back from nearly impossible odds.  He also shares how God led him to start the ministry of SafeHouse which has brought hope and restoration to the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Two things that make a huge difference when it comes to living, and staying, in victory are a strong support network of good friends and a purpose in giving back to help others.

Jennifer describes how gambling was a more powerful and destructive addiction than even the drugs were.  This should be a wake up call for anyone dabbling in gambling, and a warning for legislators who want to more fully legalize this destructive industry.

Jennifer shares about the great love her mother gave her and the powerful influence for good it had on her life.  She also shares about the unexpected and disastrous side effects of the COVID pandemic that had nothing to do with actually getting COVID... Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there!  We appreciate all that you do!

Jennifer has a hard story, yet even in the darkness there is such a powerful and clear illustration of the goodness and mercy of God watching over her.  God truly does treat every one of us so much better than we deserve, praise God for his mercy and grace.

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.

Shun's personality from a young age drove him to pursue what he wanted with extreme diligence and without caution.  At the age of 13 years old he was drawn by the allure of obtaining power over others to join the Crips gang, and he committed extreme violence on his path to gain that power.  He would come to find out though, that when you serve the devil, you pay a high price.

Twiggy shares more about how her faith and her gratefulness to God led her to give back and be an encouragement to others during her time at Grace House.  Her testimony is a powerful example about the power of giving back and about what really matters in the end.  Twiggy testifies that it was the Word of God that carried her through her darkest days.

Twiggy has an amazing spirit and exudes the quality of gratefulness.  She has a powerful story of falling on hard times and trusting in the Lord to see her through!

A special Christmas episode.  Merry Christmas!

This conclusion episode of George Jackson's story opens up with George getting shot two times on one day, and still not taking that as a wakeup call to change his life.  It was only a couple years later when his daughter came to him with some choice words that it struck his heart and led him to seek out the Lord and change his life.

George continues his story and shares about his transition from Crack to Meth and tells some crazy stories about how easy it was to commit identity theft crimes...until he got caught.
