"My wife and I were redeemed to redeem. It’s not a private faith." Christopher was hesitant when his wife told him of her convictions to help a former gang member. But when he felt the Lord calling him to be obedient as well, he found the courage to invite Alex, a former gang member who had spent 18 years in prison, to live in his home. Since then, Alex has been baptized, and though he still has struggles, he is walking in Christ.

“My father referred to me as the cancer of our family. He said I need to be cut out and removed because I was affecting everyone’s well-being." In high school, Alex Scaro lived for football. When an injury ended any hopes for a college career in the sport, Alex began smoking marijuana on a regular basis, and eventually turned to harder drugs. After a near-death overdose, Alex entered a recovery program where he joined a Bible study and heard the gospel for the first time. Then, Alex discovered where true hope, peace, and identity are found.

Greg Breazeale teaches on being shaped by the Word from Psalm 19:1-3 and 7-11.
