Last weekend I was invited to share my story at The Encounter, a church in Peoria, Illinois. While I was there I had the privilege of speaking with some amazing people. They are regular folks, just like you and me, who have amazing stories of overcoming incredibly difficult obstacles. How were they able to make such drastic changes in their lives?
Today I would like to share a video interview with Mike, one of the people who shared with me this weekend. Mike answers a few questions and shares some insight into how he overcame addiction and a criminal lifestyle. Please watch and be inspired by his courageous story.
I believe Mike's story exemplifies the fact that, "You only change the way you live, when you change the way you think." -Pastor Chris Hodges
It most certainly is not easy to overcome obstacles like Mike faced. Sometimes it requires great sacrifice and even intentionally uprooting yourself from your surroundings, but healing and freedom is possible my friend! Don't give up!
Blessings!
