Redeemed Through His Blood

In this heartfelt episode, Scott and Debra open up about the heavy realities of addiction, grief, self-doubt, and the unseen struggles so many silently carry. They reflect on how easy it is to feel isolated, broken, or "too far gone," and they testify that Jesus Christ meets us right where we are — not after we've cleaned ourselves up. Through personal stories, raw emotion, and powerful scriptures like Matthew 11 and Isaiah 61, they remind us that the Savior's embrace isn't delayed until we're perfect. It's extended because we are already His.Together, Scott and Debra invite listeners to come to Christ in three simple ways: pray (even if it's a messy, desperate prayer), feast on even a single verse of scripture, and try again — minute by minute if needed. They share how Christ's atonement offers real healing for every kind of pain and every kind of weakness. Wherever you are today — broken, hopeful, questioning, overwhelmed — you're welcome here. There's always hope through Him.
