Summary

Today on the podcast, we are honored to bring you a story unlike any other we have ever had.
 
Celeste and Hannah Ellis (mother and daughter), from Tupelo, Mississippi, share their individual perspectives regarding the journey they both traveled as Hannah battled alcohol and drug addiction in her high school and early college years. This unique story will give you a glimpse into what they were each experiencing during those years and how the Lord met them both to bring them the freedom only He could provide.
 
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
* Even when you are physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally at rock bottom, God can still do a miracle in your life.
* God can set you free from whatever it is that enslaves you and restore and redeem your life.
* When you walk by faith, you will start seeing God all around you.
 
ON PATREON TODAY! Hannah's mother, Celeste, shared her story alone this past Fall. Listen to this unedited recording and hear more details of what Celeste walked through as she watched Hannah struggle with addiction.
