  • Great Show! Great Host!

    10 Star if they would allow me to give. This show is one that transcends genres. It is inspiring, hope filled, and emotional. Jenny does a great job interviewing the guest, allowing them to talk, and pulling the emotions out. At the center, though, is the hope that is offered from Christ Jesus.

From Addiction to Freedom: Jordan Wilson - Miracle Story - Part 2

Q: What would you tell people who think this may have happened to them or someone they love, and ask, “God, why didn't you stop that?”
Swan says God does not want abuse to happen, but people can choose to harm others in an imperfect world. She encourages people to seek wisdom and comfort from God, who can help them heal and move forward.
