In The Way Home, you’ll hear the powerful, unfiltered stories of people who stepped away from the Church—some for years, others for a season—and the moments that led them back home.These aren’t testimonies. They’re reminders that no matter how far someone feels, there’s always a way back. And it’s never too late.If you or someone you know is struggling, searching, or silently wondering if they could ever return, we invite you to listen. Share it. Send it to someone you may not know how to reach with words. Sometimes, hearing someone else’s story is all it takes to begin writing your own.Through the Rediscover I AM website, you can even reach out and connect directly with those featured in the series—whether to talk, ask questions, or just know you’re not alone.We’ve found these stories deeply inspiring and impactful, and we pray that you will too.Website: https://shokranverymuch.godaddysites.comhttps://www.rediscoveriam.orgInstagram: @shokranverymuch@redisoveriamYouTube: Shokran Very MuchRediscover I AM
