Summary

In this moving interview, Scott Pauley interviews Ryan, his cousin and brother in Christ, who shares his remarkable journey from drug addiction to redemption and freedom in Christ. After years of bondage to substance abuse, losing his mother, and feeling hopeless, Ryan found strength and freedom through the Word of God, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the support of his family and church family.
