Finding Freedom Behind Bars: Skye Seumptewa

from Sistercast Hosted by Sistercast

After losing her father to a heart attack and her mother to cancer Skye Seumptewa walked away from the church that she had grown up in and sought consolation from the pain and depression in friends, drugs, and alcohol. The choices she made and the friends she kept often came in contradiction with the persistent nagging of her conscience to "get her life together". Each time her life became seemingly more stable, depression would creep in, an unexpected encounter with the law, a new drug, or the overwhelming feeling of being completely unloved would lead her back into a life of self medication and isolation. This pattern continued for over six years until she found herself in a Colorado jail for five months. In the beginning she railed against the injustice of her circumstances but it was there in that outwardly hopeless situation that she found the hope, peace, and forgiveness that she had been so desperately searching for all those years. Listen and find encouragement as Skye shares her story first-hand.
