My Mess is His Message - A Story from a Recovering Alcoholic: Helen Hanson Smith :: [Episode 359]

My Mess is His Message - A Story from a Recovering Alcoholic: Helen Hanson Smith :: [Episode 359]

What if God is most powerfully found in the midst of the messiness of your sinful life? Today's storyteller reminds us of this truth.

Helen Hanson Smith, from our Fairhope, Alabama community group, shares her journey of struggling with alcohol addiction and trying to fight the battle on her own. In and out of rehab programs for years, it wasn't until Helen Hanson surrendered it all to God and found her desires were met only in Him that the Lord could heal her and take what was once her mess and make it His message.

VERSE OF THE WEEK:

"Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

What battles are you fighting today? Are you fighting alone or with God? Allow God to fight for you!
