Can Grace Really Redeem Abuse & Addiction? Overwhelming Grace Stories with Kyle VanHecke

Join us for a short series called Overwhelming Grace, where we sit down with friends to hear their stories of encountering God's grace.On this episode, Kyle Van Hecke shares about growing up in a broken, addiction-marked home in St. Louis, Missouri, with a father whose rages ended in police called to the house and years spent surrounded by drugs and alcohol. He talks about hitting his lowest point his senior year of high school while living alone in an apartment, stealing for the adrenaline and drinking just to feel something. Kyle shares about how he got to Baylor University and, eventually, to church and where he’d start to encounter God and experience freedom. He talks through pursuing his now-wife, Abby, and the hard, humbling first year of marriage spent learning to communicate while serving in Air Force intelligence. Kyle also breaks down what he calls the grace of God showing up before he ever asked for it, and why tracing that grace backward through your own story can be the first step toward believing you truly belong in God's family. Kyle Van Hecke serves as a Zone Pastor at Antioch Waco in Waco, Texas.Kitchen table conversations, biblical wisdom, and testimonies from Jimmy and the Antioch Movement.Passion & Purpose is a podcast that desires to help you fall more in love with Jesus and have a greater passion for Him and His purposes in the earth.
