May 2 – Redeemed Past

It's no longer just your story. It's God's tool. Today Pastor Mike, Steffani, and Memphis dig into what it means to let your past become someone else's hope — and Memphis lands on something worth sitting with: his shares used to sound like a badge of honor. Now they sound like testimony. That's growth, and Mike has had a front-row seat — he reveals today that he's been Memphis's sponsor for the past six months. The conversation moves through Romans 8:28, the AA tradition of experience, strength, and hope, and Mike's honest admission that he needed the hard knocks, the bad chapters, every bit of it — to become who he is today. The stone for today: The past can feel like a weight, but in God's hands it becomes a tool. What once brought pain can become a source of wisdom and hope for others.
