#157 | Prayer Life | Kelsie's Warstory

It doesn’t matter where you're from, what your background is or who your mom is, if you’re an alcoholic, odds are you’ve said a prayer or two. We don’t always know who or what we’re saying it to but there is something about it that we naturally turn to in times of need. So what is the power of prayer? Let’s talk about it. 

 

This week’s topic was inspired by an amazing warstory from Kelsie! Kelsie grew up sheltered but found her way into hardcore drugs through the way of pain pills after a series of accidents. After losing custody of her children and facing some hard charges, she was forced to sober up courtesy of the state. Though bitter at first, she can now see just how much this saved her life and is grateful for it. 

 

Listen to her story and hear her talk about her own journey with prayer, becoming a believer and the role it plays in her recovery.

 

Thank you, Kelsie, for sharing your story!
