There is hope for recovery. People don't have to stay locked down into such internal turmoil and pain with behaviours that cause, you know, such difficulty for everybody, where naturally there are keys that God has released to us to see the brokenhearted healed.

Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired. So much terrible, depressing news out

there. And we just want to churn out week by week, wonderful stories of different people

and different walks of faith with their experience of God and their stories of overcoming through

really difficult time. So this week, I'm very excited. I've got with us Betsy DeTiery. Hi, Betsy.

Hello. And it's wonderful to have Betsy. She's actually born in Burundi. So she got to

Brunee before I did even. And the first time we came across each other was you were running

Betsy, the biggest CU in the country. I was a student at L each other was you were running Betsy, the biggest

CU in the country. I was a student at Loughborough. You were running this humongous

CU at the University of Gloucester. And then now we're both in Bath together. I just want to

But basically, there are so many police checkpoints and they always stand the road, put their hands up and stop you and delay you for about 10, 15 minutes.

They're asking for a bribe. It's really tedious. So I always said to Lizzie, when you see a policeman as you're driving, just look to the person to your left and just blast past the checkpoint and completely ignore the person. So Lizzie picks him up to the airport, your lovely parents. And she comes to this police roadblock. and this guy confidently steps into the road, puts his

hand out and basically Lizzie behaves like she doesn't give a flying monkey and submitting

to authority, blast past him, pretending to talk to, or she probably was talking to Ian and Jackie.

And it just happens that the only time ever that this policeman, in our experience, had a motorbike,
